Bridge Documentation

This uncommon small-scale steel arch bridge located in a park setting was heavily rehabilitated. Visually, the bridge was made to maintain its same general appearance, however between the most recent 2013 rehab and a previous 1984 rehab, very little original bridge superstructure material remains, notably only portions of the steel arch rib are original. Even the bearings have been replaced, reportedly damaged during removal during rehabilitation. The bridge reportedly dates to ca. 1900.
