This bridge is not the oldest example of a riveted truss bridge, and in Morrow County's relatively large collection of surviving metal truss bridges it is far from the most noteworthy. However the bridge, with rolled beams and riveted connections is a good representative example of mid-20th Century truss bridge construction. Comparisons can be made between this bridge and older truss bridges in the county. Also, the bridge is far more attractive visually than any modern bridge could hope to be. The bridge has deteriorated and has been closed to traffic. However it likely could have been repaired and rehabilitated for less than the cost of replacement. Despite this, demolition and replacement has been chosen for this bridge.
