Description
Single span multiple stringer/I-beam construction. Partially rebuilt about 2014 with shorter height beams to increase vertical clearance on west half of structure. No beams replaced on east half. "Sacrificial" steel box beam installed in front of west fascia beam to protect against high load damages.
There is a pump house located at the northwest corner of the structure to pump out water that accumulates on the roadway during periods of heavy rain. It is not unusual for the roadway to be impassable during heavy rains.
