A Parker Through Truss bridge built in 1928. It is one of only a small number of Parker bridges remaining in the Missisquoi River corridor.

Built in 1928 as part of the reconstruction effort after the 1927 flood, its design was frequently used for longer span crossings (greater than 160 feet). This bridge exhibits rolled beams used as verticals and diagonals in the truss webs, an innovation that distinguishes post-1927 bridges from earlier, more lightly built spans.

The bridge was rehabbed in 1994.
