View Historic Bridge Inventory Sheet For This Bridge

This bridge is a very short through truss span, and a classic example of a King Bridge Company Pratt truss.

This bridge recieved an in-kind restoration for continued vehicular use in 2012. The in-kind restoration included the use of hot riveting, and extensive repair of existing original materials. As such even after rehabilitation, the bridge retains excellent historic integrity. The bridge was restored by Bach Steel, with more information available at their website.
