Description 

FROM THE 1996-2001 PENNSYLVANIA HISTORIC BRIDGE SURVEY: The 2-span, 50'-long steel stringer bridge has W-beam guiderails, timber deck, and stone abutments and pier coated in concrete. The bridge was built in ca. 1920. The current deck and railings were placed in 1990. It has no innovative or distinguishing details and is an altered example of the most common, mid-20th century bridge type in the state. Neither the bridge nor its setting or context are historically or technologically noteworthy.
