It is a Kingpost pony truss bridge which probably was built by the Western Bridge & Construction Co.. It was well preserved when listed on the National Register and was then the last of just two surviving kingpost truss bridges in the state.[2]

The other one, also in Antelope County, designated NEHBS No. APOO-252 and also NRHP-listed,[2] seems no longer to exist.
