The bridge consists of two spans, 64.1 feet and 81.10 feet, with a 3.2 feet gap between them. The combined trussed portions of the bridge are 149.1 feet long. The bridge's Town lattice is an unusual design choice, but the later addition of the queen trusses are also unusual, resulting in a unique visual appearance by the bridge's unequal spans.

The bridge spans the Trout River in an east–west orientation. It is of Town lattice truss design, 91 feet (28 m) in length and 19.5 feet (5.9 m) in width, with a roadway width of 16 feet (4.9 m) (one lane).
