This small steel stringer bridge crosses Neola Avenue south of Jefferson.
While the date stamp on the bridge reads 1902, that is clearly for a previous bridge. The current span is a long steel stringer which overhangs the former abutments by quite some distance. It is believed that it was installed in approximately 1950, while the span is clearly about 30 years older.
In addition to the steel stringer span, a single trestle span exists on either side. The bridge is set onto concrete and wooden substructures. The concrete abutments now serve as piers.
Unfortunately, no confirmation on the bridge can be found. It is also unknown if this steel stringer span was installed new or secondhand.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in fair to poor condition. The concrete substructures have begun to completely crumble.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
