This is one of several similar bridges built in Dallas to accommodate a realignment of the river, with unusual design noted for its cantilever stringer spans and extremely long t-beam approach spans. Of note, the main stringer spans are configured as variable depth (but not curved) riveted built-up beams. These beams consist of a central span flanked at each end by "half-spans" which cantilever out to meet concrete t-beam approach spans. The central span serves as the anchor span for these cantilever arms. This configuration is a reversal of the most common arrangement of cantilever bridges (typically cantilever arms extend into the central span, anchored by the end spans). This is also an extremely unusual combination of steel and concrete bridge superstructures found within a single bridge span.
A couple unusual concrete approach spans were also noted. These spans consists of a shorter span lengths yet despite this shorter span length, they consists of two cantilevered t-beam spans that meet in the center.
