It is of queen post truss design, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

[1] The Red Covered Bridge is located in a rural area of southwestern Morristown, just north of the junction of Cole Hill Road, Sterling Valley Road, and Moren Loop.

The bridge is covered by a red metal roof, and its exterior is clad in red-painted vertical board siding, which extends around to the insides of the portals.

The bridge deck is supported by steel I-beams installed in 1971 to carry the active load.

Its construction is somewhat unusual, with distinctively thicker bottom chords on the trusses, built out of twelve layers of planking.
