History and architectural features
This town truss bridge, which measures 81 ft in length, was built by David Sutton in 1842 at a cost of $5553.50. That amount is equal to $0 today. Posted for years with a height restriction of 11'6" (3.5 meters), it was reposted in 2007 to 9'4" (2.85 meters) after an overheight truck passed through it and damaged the roof. It carries a posted weight rating of 24000 lb. This bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 1, 1980.
