This bridge is an example of substructures from a similar structure reused onto a new structure.
Built in 2006, this structure replaced a similar 4 span concrete slab. When the new superstructure was placed, it reused the older concrete piers.
The bridge has no other historical value, although is an interesting perspective on the condition of the former GN substructures.

The author has ranked this bridge as having no significance.
