The bridge uses a Pratt Through Truss design with a total length of 99 feet. That's just a few feet longer than the longest span, that said there is only one span. The bridge is from the mid-20s and as such the deck is only 18 feet wide.

These narrow bridges mean meeting a truck or motor home on them might be cause for caution, especially if you are driving an RV or pulling a camper trailer. Two 8.5 foot wide vehicles equals 17 feet, on an 18 foot wide bridge that only leaves a few inches of space between each of them and the sides of the bridge structure ... mirrors ... what mirrors. The good news is that there is 15 feet of vertical clearance.
Vertical clearance above deck: 15.3 ft.
