It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

The bridge spans a gorge carrying the Muddy Branch of the New Haven River, and now provides access only to the Halpin family farm.

It is a single-span Town lattice truss, 66 feet (20 m) long, resting on concrete abutments.

[3] The bridge was originally built to serve a marble quarry operation on the east side of the river, and had dry laid stone abutments.

In 1994 the bridge had extensive work done by Jan Lewandoski, in which the bridge was completely removed from its crumbling marble abutments, and new concrete abutments were created for it.
