This bridge is an excellent, unaltered example of an extremely narrow one-lane concrete arch bridge built to serve a rural road. The simply designed bridge has concrete railing with lines forming rectangles on the railing being being the only architectural embellishment. The bridge has been bypassed by a replacement bridge, but it has been left standing next to its replacement, closed to traffic.
