This attractive bridge was the design of noted engineering firm Modjeski and Masters. The bridge consists of a single suspended span over the river. Only the center span is suspended on this bridge, and so straight backstays are present on this bridge instead of suspended side spans. This is a less common arrangement for a suspension bridge. The bridge appears to be in good physical condition and retains good historic integrity. While not a particularly old example of its type, suspension bridges are sufficiently rare that this bridge nevertheless should be considered a significant historic bridge.
