Notes
  • Significance: The bridge is an excellent example of a dual-rib, open-spandrel concrete arch bridge executed in the Stripped Classicism style. The bridge is also an excellent example of design utilizing the plasticity of reinforced concrete as achieved by American engineers in the period 1910-40. The location of the bridge served as an important crossing locus in the center of Sharon linking two neighborhoods which date to the period 1870-1940. In addition Oakland Avenue is a major residential, commercial, and service thoroughfare.
