Bridge is located 2.3 miles south of the Throckmorton County line.
The bridge consists of a single 150-foot Parker through truss span and 10 concrete girder approach spans.
In 1929, Many & Alley constructed the bridge under contract to Texas Highway Department (THD). In the late 1940s, THD maintenance forces shortened the concrete approach railing to about half its original height. Sometime later, they replaced the portal bracing with a steel beam. No other repairs have been performed on the bridge.
