The referendum passed, and at the same time the state agreed to build the Union Street Bridge.

The firms of Aldrich & Cook and Jerome Wilhelm were hired to build the bridge, which was completed in 1930.

Dedication plaques were purchased during construction at the request of the American Legion.

Sidewalks, supported by concrete brackets, overhang the face of the arch.

A plate on one parapet reads: "American Legion Memorial Bridge 1930."
