What is recorded here

Triple-arch road bridge over the King's River, erected 1866. Rock-faced limestone construction with cut stone string course to snecked rubble parapet walls and cut limestone voussoirs and plinth to segmental arches. Slightly projecting abutments. Carved U-cutwaters to upstream and downstream elevations with pointed capping stones. Plaque to east parapet wall with date of 1866.
This fine bridge exhibits fine design and detailing. The rock-faced masonry was clearly executed by skilled masons, while the upstream and downstream cutwaters are noteworthy features. The cutwaters combined with the string courses and cut voussoirs to the arches contrast with the rock-faced construction of the walls adding to the overall visual appeal of the bridge.
