Just posted an article on this bridge with some screen shots. I do believe this bridge is a rare gem that should be preserved and listed on the National Register. Link: https://bridgehunterschronicles.wordpress.com/2020/10/01/mys... Any leads and information can be posted here. Good luck!

My guess is they relocated it here long ago, and took out some center panels. It would be easy with a pin-connected truss.

Looks like a 4 slope Parker truss to me. Nice find!

I'm not sure of the design of this bridge or unable to locate a history.
