It consists of two 140 feet (43 m) reinforced concrete rainbow arch spans, or "Marsh arch" spans, and carries a 20 feet (6.1 m) wide roadway across the Neosho River. It is located .2 miles (0.32 km) east of Hartford on what was described in 1982 as a county road,[2] and in 2019 is known as 19th Ln.[3]

The bridge design was the work of James Barney Marsh. This example is just one of 72 rainbow arch bridges built in Kansas, but was assessed to have a good chance of survival due to its relatively obscure location.[2]
