Built in 1905, it is one of the state's few surviving examples of a metal truss bridge built before state aid and standardization of bridge types became widespread in Vermont.

A sidewalk is carried by outriggers from the main bridge stringers on one side.

The trusses are set on stone abutments that have been faced in concrete.

[2] The bridge was built for the town in 1905 by Henry Norton, and was dedicated to Gilbert and Olive Spaulding.

It is one of a small number of surviving pin-connected truss bridges in the state; this style of construction was already falling out of fashion when this bridge was built, replaced by field riveting.
