View Information About HSR Ratings
This bridge is similar to a polygonal Warren pony truss bridge with an important difference being that the top chord is actually truly curved, not polygonal. Trusses with curved top chords like this can be found in Europe, where they are usually called bowstring bridges, although their appearance and design differs greatly from the American style bowstring trusses that were common in the 1870s in the United States. With a true curve to its top chord, this riveted truss bridge may be unique in the United States with its European style bowstring appearance. While the true curve and use of riveted connections are the two main aspects of the European design, this bridge's omission of v-lacing and lattice in its built-up beams in favor of a more simple composition of plates and angles is also something much more common among riveted bridges in Europe.
It is unknown why this small bridge has such an uncommon design. It may be unique in the country.
The National Bridge Inventory gives a 1940 construction date. This date may be incorrect, and may indicate this bridge was moved here at that date too. The bridge has good potential to be from the late 1800s.
