This bridge represents a type of bridge that was very common in Ontario and somewhat common Michigan and during the early twentieth century, but varies in how common it is elsewhere in North America. The design took a standard riveted Warren pony truss and riveted together just angles rather than the usual, more hefty assortment of built of beams composed of back-to-back channels and top chord made of built-up box beams. This bridge is a typical example of this angle-based design. The design was perhaps a little less strong, but it likely was more cost effective. Despite this, these bridges are generally still a reliable and strong bridge design. The continued use of this bridge by vehicular traffic was a good example. Alterations to the structure included some welded repairs to this bridge, and supplemental steel added to the floor beams. This bridge featured a stringer approach span at each end.
It should be noted that when this bridge was demolished, there was nothing significantly wrong with the trusses of this bridge. It likely could have been rehabilitated for less than the cost of replacement. It also had an extremely low Average Daily Traffic of only 27. Demolishing and replacing this bridge not only destroyed our nation's transportation heritage it was also an unnecessary waste of taxpayer dollars.
This historic bridge has been demolished. This map is shown for reference purposes only.
