This four lane steel arch truss bridge replaces the old, single lane bridge built in 1911, located about 1/2 mile to the south-east. It is constructed of four separate arches resting on concrete piers and footings, each about 250 feet long, giving it a total span of just under 1000 feet. It was opened to traffic in 1957 and dedicated in 1961. Except for the aforementioned disused older Trail Bridge, it is the final crossing of the Columbia River before it enters the United States.
