Bridge Documentation

This bridge is a traditional example of a Warren pony truss with riveted connections. The bridge does have some minor alterations associated with maintenance and rehabilitation in regards to railing and deck, but overall the integrity of the bridge is good with no major alterations. It appears the bridge was galvanized at some point, although this galvanizing appears to be slowly failing with rust beginning to show up on the bridge. Galvanizing is occasionally used on old truss bridges as an alternative to paint.
