This is a small five panel truss bridge that appears to be on old WV-8 highway alignment. It has a metal grate deck. Original railings are gone, with modern Armco railings installed. Plate steel and rods have been welded to various parts of the bridge. While not a particularly rare structure as truss bridges go, it is nevertheless a picturesque structure that is still faithfully serving its original intended purpose.
