View Historic Bridge Inventory Sheet For This Bridge

This bridge is an excellent example of a pin-connected Pratt through truss. A 1920 construction date is listed for this bridge, but this date is very late for a pin-connected truss, so it unclear if this date is accurate or not.

This bridge recieved an in-kind restoration for continued vehicular use in 2013. 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.
