Comments:
5-panel truss. In the winter of 1967 a truck went through the deck. It was rebuilt in 1968 with an independent roadway reinforced with four steel beams. The bridge also survived a fire in 1970 that started at a nearby house. In October 1999, it was closed after being damaged by an oversized truck. The repairs were completed in March 2000. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 16, 1974.
