The bridge rests on concrete piers and abutments and is approached by two Warren pony trusses.{{Cite web |url={{NRHP url|id=85000423}} |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory - Nomination Form: CQA Four Mile Bridge |last=Fraser |first=Clayton B. |date=May 24, 1982 |publisher=National Park Service |pages=12 |access-date=2009-08-03}}
