This is an authentic bowstring pony truss bridge. Steinhart Park has reported that this bridge was formerly a vehicle bridge that was relocated to the park and narrowed so it can be used as a pedestrian bridge. Unfortunately, this bridge is to be replaced soon because it is deemed unsafe for pedestrians.
