The memorial sits at the southwest corner of the bridge in a roadside clearing. It faces east toward Flavigny-sur-Moselle and the D-570. Monument

The black granite monument features gold leaf text and an inscription in both French and English. It also includes unit insignia and is mounted in a granite base. Two flag poles flank the memorial to the west, and a short fence frames it on three sides. The memorial was inaugurated in 1987 to recall the "Night of Hell" of 10-11 September 1944, when the 2^nd Battalion of the 134^th Regiment was decimated when it attempted to cross the river. Some 500-600 soldiers were killed, wounded, captured, or lost. The 60^th Engineering Battalion and the 110^th Medical Battalion also suffered great losses in what became known as one of the bloodiest battles of the Lorraine Campaign.
