Survey number HAER NJ-57
Significance: The single span, through Warren truss was constructed in 1913 by the Phoenix Bridge Company of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. It is an exceptionally wide bridge for that period and one of the few remaining trusses in Somerset County. Two trusses are 91'-9" long center to center of end pins, 22'-0-3/4" deep, and 36'0" wide, center to center. Plate girder, floor beams, and I-beam stringers are concreted in place. The floor is reinforced concrete. Floor depth is 3'-0". The underclearance is 21'-6-1/2". Abutments are gravity type, soil bearing, and concrete. One 10'-0" footwalk, with wire and wooden railing, was installed on the west side in 1943.
