Silverton, the village, was named after Silverton Creek when it was built straddling the creek at the end of the nineteenth century. This steel truss bridge, however, was build quite a bit later than that, though - in 1960 to be precise. It would be a replacement for a previous wooden, single lane bridge in the same location.
Best place to park to visit is at the village office, just to the south of the bridge, on the west side of the highway.
BTW - for the benchmark hunters, there's a benchmark on the face of the south west retaining wall of this bridge.
