This bridge appears typical of the Brown Truss box truss construction technique, with vertical cable tension members for added strength.
It is a 2-lane, door-less bridge, paved with asphalt and lovingly restored and painted. A sign at both ends proclaims the date of construction. There are no other markings or plaques on the bridge.
