This bridge is an unaltered example of a county designed concrete slab bridge. It has paneled railings and includes a bronze plaque. The bridge was found to be non-contributing structure of a Historic District because it was built after the period of significance. This may be the case, but its also worth noting that a nice looking 1920s bridge still will blend in with a Historic District a lot better than a modern replacement bridge would. Thus, even non-contributing bridges that are older and nicer looking than modern bridges should still be considered for preservation simply because they harmonize with the Historic District better even if they don't officially contribute.
