It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006 as Bridge 31.

It is located a short way south of downtown Waterbury and west of the rural center of Duxbury, and is one of two bridges joining the two communities (the other carries United States Route 2 further to the east).

The bridge is a single-span Parker through truss, 202 feet (62 m) long, set on concrete abutments which are themselves set partially on remnants of older stone abutments.

It has a width of 25.5 feet (7.8 m), and has a sidewalk cantilevered onto the downstream (western) side.

The bridge deck is concrete laid on steel stringers and floor beams.
