This bridge appears to be quite old, perhaps dating to the 1880s based on the older style font for the Carnegie name found on the bridge's end post. Despite this old age, the bridge received such serious alterations back in the 1950s that today the bridge has relatively little significance for a metal truss bridge. None of the diagonal members present on the bridge are original, and the bridge is also missing counters in the center two panels. The connections have ugly plate steel welded to them rendering the connections rigid. Surprisingly, the floor beams, something often lost when old truss bridges are repaired, are original.

It is worth noting that the appearance of the bridge could be improved as part of a rehabilitation project that could remove the plates and the the diagonal members. A crew could then repair the original parts of the bridge and create replicas of the parts that were replaced and bring this bridge back to its original pin-connected design.
