This bridge is one of only two known lenticular truss bridges in the state, and is the most significant of the two. It is a noteworthy example of its type because it is a multi-span example. The bridge displays the classic lenticular shape and ornatmental details of its patent-holding builder, Berlin Iron Bridge Company, with the ornate portal bracing and equally ornate builder plaque, and highly decorative pedestrian railings.
There is an odd welded portal-like construct in front of the bridge’s original portals, which apparently dates back to the 1930s.
This historic bridge has been rehabilitated and preserved twice, once in 1984, and again in 2007. Some aspects of these rehabilitations were very sensitive to the historic character of the bridge and are commendable, while others seem like they harmed the character of the bridge significantly.
