Built in 1868 by the Louisville Bridge and Iron Company. Current bridge owner is the Louisville and Indiana Railroad.
The draw portion of the bridge is a vertical-lift span, built in about 1918 in place of a swing span. The draw span is across the upstream end of the Louisville and Portland Canal, which includes the McAlpine Locks and Dam. Ohio River traffic passes through this canal to navigate past the Falls of the Ohio.
