The Department's description
Exterior description and setting
A single segmental skew span carries a one-and-a-half lane road over a stream. Of sandstone throughout. Finely dressed voussoirs spring from bed of stream; rusticated keystone. Remainder of bridge is of random sandstone blocks. Soffit stones are laid orthogonally. The parapets are coped with larger blocks, the middle and end ones of which are raised and rusticated. The downstream (S) spandrel and parapet may have been rebuilt as they are regularly coursed in heavy cement mortar.
