The bridge was built in 1913 at Sussex, Wyoming, and moved in 1963 to Irigary Road.

A Pratt truss has vertical members and diagonals that slope down towards the center.

While the Pratt truss has braced diagonal members in all panels, the Pennsylvania truss has half-length struts or ties in the top, bottom, or both parts of the panels.
