This bridge is visible on the left hand side of Kings Highway 21 as you head north towards Bayfield. It is a private bridge, probably erected, or possibly moved from a different location, to give a farmer access to the fields. The bridge sits on steel caissons. A sign in front of a nearby house displayed the name Erb, so a reasonable name for the bridge is the Erb Farm Bridge.
Queen post trusses are always three panels, with two diagonals in the middle panel. This truss design is comparable to the two-panel king post, which has the middle panel removed, and is the simplest truss design. Queen post truss bridges are a rare find these days.
This particular truss bridge is pin connected, and has v-lacing on the vertical members. The diagonal members have turnbuckles. The guardrails are simple metal pipe, and the deck is wood. The structure sits on steel caissons, which are likely filled with concrete. There does not appear to be any paint on the bridge.
