This simple I-Beam bridge was significantly reconstructed in 2014.
The bridge was built as a nine span I-Beam structure, although the center five spans have been replaced. The structure rests on stone substructures.
After abandonment, the bridge sat unused until 2014, when it was converted to a trail.
As part of the conversion, the center spans were removed and replaced with a typical pedestrian bridge. This was to improve waterflow.
Presently, the approaches are the only original thing left. It is unknown when they were built.
The author has ranked this bridge as being minimally significant, due to the massive amount of alterations.
The photo above is an overview of the structure. If anyone has any information on an original build date, I would appreciate it if you would let me know!
