Often referred to as the Nelson Mountain Bridge because it is located on Nelson Mountain Road.
Both the upper and lower chords are one piece old-growth timbers.
The lower timbers measure 14" x 14" x 111 feet and the upper timbers measure 12" x 12" x 79 feet.
The bridge was refurbished in 1984.
Among items replaced were the wooden flooring with pre-cast concrete slab decking, the wooden abutments and trestle approaches.
