The 3-span (50'-long spans) riveted Warren with verticals pony truss bridge is supported on random ashlar abutments with wingwalls and piers. It is composed primarily of angles, and the riveted outriggers are original, as is the pipe railing. The only alterations appear to be toe walls added to the piers, concrete seats, and encasing the west abutment. Although the bridge is a late example of its type, it is will preserved and the 3 span configuration demonstrates the adaptability of truss bridges to diverse sittings. This adaptability contributed to the popularity, marketability, and continue use of this bridge type and hence, to its significance. It is individually eligible for listing in the National Register under Criterion C.
