The 105-foot Howe truss type bridge was built in 1932. The bridge was bypassed in 1963 and is now maintained by the Linn County Parks & Recreation Department as a pedestrian bridge across the river. Since 1990, the bridge has been the site of a Bridge Day festival held annually in the summer. [3] A small park next to the bridge includes a picnic table and fire pit. [2]

The bridge was featured in the 1976 television movie The Flood. [4]

The bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [5]
