"...steel riveted bridge is a 139 foot long Warren deck-truss, set atop a pair of concrete footings set into the ravine’s walls. The bridge’s road deck is 17 feet wide and its main span was 105 feet in length."
Current use is as a pedestrian bridge and historical structure. Parking is available in front of the bridge. It is easily accessible and open 24 hrs a day. There are other interesting historical sites in the immediate area of this old copper mining community.
