This bridge, built in 1922 by the Vincennes Bridge Co., of Vincennes, Indiana. It consists of four 153 foot pin-connected Parker trusses and a beam approach span at each end.
The approach spans appear to have been rebuilt at some time in the lat 1950's or early 1960's, as shown by the steel guard rails of that era.

The bridge is very typical of bridges built during this time and is in good shape, other than needing paint. Many of the bridge's design elements would show up in the standardized state designs of the late 1920's.
Looking east though the bridge, the lacing in the riveted middle panels is very prominent. The four spans are 9 17' panels long.
