Exterior description and setting
A single skew horizontal metal span carries a one-and-a-half lane road over a stream. The span is of troughed and riveted metal sections, with wrought iron beams to each side. The span rests on large irregular sandstone blocks brought to courses. The parapet railings have angle-iron uprights and top rail, and three rails below. They terminate in squared rubble sandstone piers.
