Description
FROM THE 1996-2001 PENNSYLVANIA HISTORIC BRIDGE SURVEY:
'The single span, 24'-long stone arch bridge, built ca. 1900, has randomly coursed stone parapets. The elliptical profile of the arch ring is nearly horizontal over much of the span. The bridge is historically significant because it is located within the boundaries, and built during the 1800-1920 period of significance of the Central Norristown Historic District. It was not rated in the nomination. The bridge is not individually significant because it is a short, late and altered example of its type in a county with a large population of significant stone arch bridges.'
