This appears to be the sign that would have been in place when the bridge was closed. It restricts all trucks from using the bridge.

This is the back side of that sign, so I would assume this side is older. This side shows the bridge having a weight limit of 15 tons.

There are numbers and arrows on this thing, which hold the diagonal in place as it passes by the vertical. Perhaps they were a key to some instructions on how to assemble the bridge?

Another number, looks like 28, was on this.

Note the unusual termination of the top chord with the end post.

Lattice guardrails remain on the abutments.
