It is a single span Warren design steel deck truss bridge, built by the Ware Company of El Paso.^[2]

It spans a deep canyon (about 120 feet (37 m) deep) of the Rio Percha, or Percha Creek, on its eastward descent from the Black Range toward the Rio Grande River.^[2]

It is located 10 yards south of New Mexico State Road 152, 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Hillsboro.^[2]

The span is 160 feet (49 m) and is approached by two 25 feet (7.6 m) approach spans; the roadway is 210 feet (64 m) long and 19 feet (5.8 m) wide. It has a timber deck, covered with asphalt.^[2]
