Detail of the modifications to the bridge. The actual bracing itself appears to be original (as it conforms to the early style portal bracing seen on pre-1886 Berlin Iron Bridges), but it was raised around 1920 to increase overhead clearance, creating this unusual look. All the work is riveted, making these modifications historic in their own right.
