Originally a wooden bridge was built on the location in the late 1800s, eventually it was sold to the county. In 1912, a new steel bridge was built only to be nearly swept away by the flood of 1913. [3] The Red Bridge was reinforced and survived the flood in 1964, but was ultimately deemed unsafe for car traffic in 1989 and closed off to the public in 1992. The closure diverted traffic to U.S. Route 2. [4]
