Its length is approximately 100 feet, and it has a wooden deck. The road CR30 East, is closed off at the junction with Aylesworth Road, to the north, and access is blocked at either end of the bridge itself. This bridge is in very poor structurally deficient condition, with a lot of corrosion evident.
