Description 

This bridge is a very unique 4-span Warren pony truss bridge with verticals, and what makes this bridge different is the fact that the two west spans are continuously connected, and the two east spans are also, and each of these "span-sets" are simply connected (independently pier-mounted) at the center pier. The bridge has a very high sufficiency rating for a truss bridge and appears to be in excellent condition, which (hopefully) equates to this bridge remaining in existence for many more years to come.
