The bridge serves as a connecting point between Eldridge and the village of Glen Ellen.

On average, 13,900 cars travel over the bridge daily.

[3] Glen Ellen resident Jim Berkland, who used to play on and around the bridge as a child in the 1940s, collected signatures and filed a petition to the county, who agreed to maintain the bridge rather than tear it down.

[2][5][6] The 143.1-foot (43.6 m), steel bridge was designed in the Parker Through truss style.

The deck is made of cast-in-place concrete with bituminous surface.
