The bridge is a nine-panel iron Pratt truss bridge, fabricated by the Variety Iron Works of Cleveland, Ohio and first erected around 1889. It is a single span of 159 feet (48 m), with a roadway width of 11.18 feet (3.41 m). The deck is made of timbers. It is one of the longest 19th-century metal truss bridges remaining in Virginia.[3]
