Located in Utica, this small pony truss bridge crosses the I&M Canal.
Built in 1890, this bridge was constructed to provide access to industry south of the I&M Canal.
The structure is a simple 7 panel, riveted Double Intersection Warren Pony Truss, set onto stone substructures. It has been abandoned since around 1980.
Since being abandoned, the bridge has been protected as part of the I&M Canal Heritage Area.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in fair to good condition, with some minor deterioration noted. It is hoped the bridge can continue to be preserved.
The author has ranked this bridge as being moderately significant, due to the truss design.
