It is covered by a gabled metal roof and rests on concrete abutments.

The exterior is clad in vertical board siding which stops short of the eaves, leaving an open strip near the top.

In 1994, after years of neglect, and with its new location in a flood plain, the bridge suffered deterioration and was removed from its abutments.

In 1995 it was restored, in the process, making the interior clearance 18 inches (0.46 m) higher to allow larger farm equipment to pass through.
