Approximately 30 feet long, this all steel bridge was fabricated of square steel tubing and steel wagon wheels. It is actually a truss bridge, the side railings providing the strength for the bridge. It was built in memory of Ruth by John Tomlinson. A brass plaque in memory of Ruth is mounted on the centre of the bridge.

The only crossing of the creek in this section of the park, it likely gets a lot of traffic.

This is another entry for the shortest truss bridge contest.
