Main structure:
The 5 span, 812'-long, thru girder bridge is composed of four continuous-cantilever thru girder spans (182'-221'-180'-180') built in 1930 and a prestressed concrete spread box beam approach span (46') from 1979. The 221'-long span of the continuous-cantilever thru girder bridge has a drop in section with shiplap connections. The bridge has built up floorbeams, rolled stringers and a concrete deck. It has a cantilevered sidewalk, pipe railings with bar fill, and a concrete substructure. The bridge is historically and technologically significant as an early statewide example of a continuous-cantilever girder bridge with a drop in section with shiplap connections. The design was an important variation in the development of the steel stringer and girder bridge types. It offers economy of material and permanence because of deck joint reduction. It allows for a longer clear span with shallower beams than would have been possible with a simply supported beam. The drop in design was used nationally beginning in the late 1920s and achieved its greatest popularity after WW II. In addition to its individual technological significance, the bridge is historically significant in association with the PHMC-determined eligible PRR Main Line.

The bridge carries a 2 lane road with a sidewalk over Turtle Creek and 3 active Conrail tracks. The rail line is the former Pennsylvania RR Main Line that has been determined eligible by PHMC (9/14/93). The line is significant for its historic role as an important east-west through route established in the 1850s. The boundaries and period of significance of the line have not been specified by PHMC. The bridge is over a rail yard near the PRR's former Pitcairn Station, but most of the sidings have been removed in this area. An intermodal yard is still active south of the bridge.

Single span at Wall Av:
The 1930, skewed, single span, built up deck girder bridge is supported on concrete abutments. The fascia beams support built up girder floorbeams that in turn carry steel stringers and the reinforced concrete deck. The bridbe has non-standard, Art Moderne-influenced steel railings. The bridge is a common design type used by the railroad industry since the mid-19th century and on vehicular roadways since late in the same century.

The bridge carries Mosside Boulevard, a 2 lane state highway with 2 sidewalks, over a local service road in an area of undistinguished post-World War II strip commercial development outside of Wall borough. The bridge carries the roadway over an abandoned right of way of a Pennsylvania Railroad spur route that has been converted to an access road to an industrial yard. The bridge is not historically or technologically significant.
