This bridge was built in 1876 by the Smith Bridge Company to replace an earlier bridge, built in 1871, that was destroyed by flooding. Both in 1913 and 1938 this bridge was washed off of its piers by flooding, but remained intact and was put back. In 2004 a flood again washed it from its piers. Again, it remained intact, but a second flood a few weeks later tore the bridge apart. The bridge was resurrected using the original trusses, thus allowing it to maintain its historic designation.
Current Condition of Bridge: excellent - reconstructed, closed to traffic
