This bridge is located immediately west of the larger, continuous Bar Mills Bridge. The bridge is a state standard through truss bridge. While the nearby Bar Mills Bridge is a very rare and unusual continuous truss, it shares the stylistic details such as truss configuration, portal bracing design, and choice of built-up beam style with this shorter, single simple span bridge. The canal bridge carries the road over a short canal that parallels the Saco River. Since this bridge is of the same dimensions and condition as the Bar Mills Bridge, and carries the same road, it shares the same risk of demolition as its larger brother.
