I haven't been able to find much about this bridge. Some information I've seen claims that this used to be the entrance to a park that no longer exists. Other people write that a park is going to be developed here in the near future, and that they are planning to use this historic bridge. Either way, the bridge itself is currently marked with "No Trespassing" signs, but the bridge is easily viewed from the road, and surrounding areas. There is room to pull off the road directly in front of the bridge, or a small building across the street has paved parking.

The bridge was built by the Wrought Iron Bridge Co. and was added to the U.S. National Register in 1978.
