There is a little information about this one at bridgehunter.com. (visit link) The bridge is a twin 70 ft span Warren pony truss with alternating verticals and a deck width of 12 feet. It is still suitable for foot traffic, but like many older county road bridges, its having room for only one vehicle at a time probably wore thin, despite the remote location. Construction, placement, and decommission dates are unknown, although judging by the appearance of its replacement, this bridge was moved aside not too long ago.
