Description

"The riveted five panel Warren with verticals pony truss bridge bears on concrete abutments and older fieldstone wingwalls capped with concrete. Concrete reinforcement was added in 1978. Alterations are minor and include bolts replacing some rivets on the gussets. One of over 20 Warren pony truss bridges in the county, the span is a late example of its type, and it exhibits no distinctive details. It is not technologically or historically noteworthy."

As far as I can tell, this bridge runs over a stream that is part of the border between Hunterdon and Somerset Counties, so it's probably in both counties and should be cross listed.
