This small concrete slab bridge crosses Cedar Street in Quincy.
The bridge is simply built, using two small concrete slabs. The abutments are constructed of stone while the center pier is constructed of concrete.
It is believed that this bridge was constructed in the late 1920s to replace a girder bridge.

The author has ranked the bridge as being minimally significant, due to the common design and not overly historic nature of the bridge.
