In the restoration much of the stone was rotated so the gunite-covered face is hidden to make the bridge more picturesque. Posted to the National Register of Historic Places on March 26, 1976. Truss Type - Covered Multiple Kingpost Through Truss with Added Arches. *During the 2015-2017 restoration of the bridge it was determined by the contractor, Arnold M.
