What is recorded here

Triple-arch hump-back road bridge over King's River, erected c. 1820. Rubble limestone walls with cut limestone voussoirs to segmental arches and limestone capping stones to parapet walls. V-shaped limestone cutwaters to upstream elevation and rectangular-profile projections with concrete additions to downstream.
This bridge is a reminder of the engineering achievements and the quality of local craftsmanship in the early nineteenth century. It is of solid rubble limestone construction with notable cutwaters to its west elevation.
