It is roughly 800 feet (240 m) west of the very similar Elm Street Stone Arch Bridge.

[1] Structurally, the bridge is a 12-foot–long (4 m) arch 7 feet (2.1 m) above the creek level, carrying the paved street.

Three years later it hired local mason Matthew G. Thompson to build the bridge for $208 ($7,900 in contemporary dollars[2]).

He employed construction techniques dating to the early 18th century, in which the abutments were built first on a small span, followed by a temporary wooden centering to support the arch.

Its interior would be filled with earth or stone, and often waterproofed with coal tar or mortar on the inside of the stonework.
