Bridge Documentation

This large multi-span concrete open spandrel arch bridge was extensively rehabilitated. Essentially, everything above the arch rib is not original, although an effort was made to maintain the original design and appearance. Learn about the rehab here.

At some period in its history, the bridge carried streetcar traffic. The previous structure at this location went over the river via Cummings Island just to the south.
