111 Feet (33.8 Meters) 12 Feet (3.7 Meters) 1 None

With a 111 foot span, this bridge is a very long pony truss span. An interesting visual feature of this long span is the top chord, which is quite massive. The bridge is a fairly late example of pin-connected pony truss technology. Original railings do not remain on the bridge. The deck is metal grate. Overall however, the bridge does retain decent historic integrity.
