This three span concrete arch in Amherst is certainly a unique addition to the town.
The concrete arches are each about 24 feet long, and have similar dimensions to the Wilson Street Bridge. However, the continuous spans are unique to this structure.
Built in 1908, this bridge appears to be unique, and may have been a decorative design. The original railings were unfortunately replaced with pipe at some point.

Overall, the bridge appears to be in fair condition, with minor deterioration.
The author has ranked this bridge as being moderately significant, due to the unique design.
The photo above is an overview. It can be accessed from the road it crosses.
