The 3 span, 165'-long continuous steel stringer bridge has state-standard concrete balustrades with paneled end posts, a concrete deck, 7 lines of steel beams with shallower depth fascia beams for the sidewalks, and 3 column reinforced concrete bents with arched caps. There are metal light standards with globe luminaires set atop the balustrade end posts. The bridge appears to be complete. 50'-65'-50' span lengths.

The 1940 steel stringer bridge is a complete example of its type/design with state-standard details (balustrades, light standards) often found in urban/town settings. Since the boundary of the district was delineated to include the bridge, it is evaluated as a contributing resource to the district. The 1937 cutoff for the period of significance is founded on NR policy, not the development history and significance of the historic district. Since the railroad is in a cut, it is likely that this is not the first railroad overpass. The bridge is a prominent feature of that defines the limits of the district, and it contributes to it historic character. Since it has reached 50 years of age, the bridge should be considered a contributing resource. Additionally, the period of significance of the historic district should be amended to go through World War II. 1937 was a procedural, not contextual, end date.
