This is a traditionally composed six panel truss bridge. It features large-sized lattice on its portal bracing. Lattice guardrails remain on the bridge. The verticals are v-laced. Many truss bridges in West Virginia exhibit numerous small alterations. This bridge is no exception. Alterations include added or replaced bottom chord sections with rods. The hip vertical is also altered at the bottom. Plate steel was welded onto small areas of the bridge.
