This structure is significant because it is the last remaining example of the Waddell "A" Truss design in Kansas, and it has retained a great degree of its integrity. The development of the Waddell "A" Truss in the late 19th and early 20th centuries allowed for spans of up to 75 feet compared to the King Post utilized before it, which could only span short distances. The bridge was nominated for its engineering significance. The bridge was relocated in October 2015 from Monument Rd in the SW4, NE4, SW4 S3-T5S-R21E (39.64383,-95.05384).
