The single span Pennsylvania (petit) truss bridge on brownstone ashlar abutments.

It was completed in 1907, using the substructure which had been built for an earlier bridge that had washed away in Passaic River Flood of 1903.

The truss type was originally designed for the Pennsylvania Railroad to support the heavy loads required for rail traffic and were seldom used on roads, the industrial setting of Paterson at the time influenced the decision to build a stronger bridge at that location.

Round headed bolts replaced deteriorated rivets, a hollow steel rail barrier to protect the trusses was used in place of standard guide rail and historic style light fixtures were installed.

Deteriorated elements were replaced and the original sidewalk railing was sandblasted, painted and re-installed.
