Inscription. Originally constructed in 1883 by the Wrought Iron Bridge Company of Canton, Ohio, this 103 foot single span Pratt Truss was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. The structure was rehabilitated, painted, and placed on concrete abutments in 2007. Because of its original design and construction, the bridge remains a single lane and must continue to have a reduced load capacity.
