The single-lane dirt road of Upper Rose River Road crosses Basin Creek at a well maintained and built wooden plank bridge.
Local hardwood is used for the deck beams which run length-wise, and are supported by 25 cm steel I-beams. Large (30 cm x 30 cm) square wooden parapets line each side of the bridge at deck level.
Simple w-section guard rail is used on either side of the bridge for vehicle safety.
It seems that it is not used by heavy traffic. There is no weight restriction signs on either approach.
