Located just east of Garrison, this is the largest bridge on the Old Creamery Trail, crossing Hinkle Creek.
Much is unknown about the bridge, although it appears to be rather standard. The author estimates the bridge was likely built between 1898 and 1900, judging by the design and what is known about similar bridges along this route.
The bridge consists of three deck girder spans, set onto stone abutments and piers. These substructures appear to be original to this bridge, meaning it is unknown what the previous span here was.
Unlike the Pratt Creek Bridge, this bridge has not seen any strengthening of the girders. However, the east pier has been reconstructed with a sheet pile base, to prevent scour.
Overall, the bridge is in good condition. Little significant deterioration was seen on the bridge.
The author has ranked the bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
