Summary of Historic Significance
Bridge No. 12 is a steel, single-span, riveted Warren pony truss with verticals. The bridge is historically significant as a representative example of a Warren pony truss. The Warren pony truss was commonly used to span narrow obstacles in the early 20th century. The bridge is also significant as a surviving example of a bridge from the end of the first decade of the 20th century when the state government first attempted standardization of the design and building of bridges. The bridge retains good integrity.
