Bridgehunter provides these vitals for this Parker pony truss bridge with camelback upper chord:
Length of largest span: 102.0 ft.
Total length: 107.0 ft.
Deck width: 9.8 ft.
Be careful when selecting a place to park. The bridge itself is but one lane, capable of handling the average motor vehicle, but given the past railroad bed, the shoulders of the road slope considerably. Be sure to not block traffic, and don't park where your vehicle is going to roll or tumble away from you.
