Old Highway 95 goes through Naples, and this bridge is on Old Highway 95, forming the entrance to the town. The bridge, instead of crossing a stream or river, crosses a railway line. The Union Pacific and Burlington Northern lines are close together here, but I believe the bridge crosses over the Union Pacific line. Not really sure. It's age? 78 - It was built in 1936. As previously mentioned, the truss bridge doesn't cross any water, but the concrete approach section crosses Deep Creek, a small creek running beside the railway track.
The bridge is a 7-panel Parker Camelback Through Truss design of 161.1 feet in length, with concrete pillar approaches on each end giving it a total length of 502 feet.
