from the 2002 survey: "The 4-panel Pratt pony truss bridge is supported on random fieldstone abutments with wingwalls. Concrete collars and patches were added in 1964. Circa 1960, the original connecting pins were removed and replaced with welded gusset plates. Outriggers and metal guide rail were added."
