The bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and had a major restoration in 1998.

Although the bridge used to carry a steady flow of tannery and sawmill traffic, the clearcutting of the surrounding forests meant the end of those industries by the early 20th century. Since then ...
