Following its destruction, the towns petitioned the state to build a replica, instead of replacing the bridge with a modern structure of steel and concrete.

The present bridge was built, in part as a community effort with donated materials and labor, using techniques that might have been used in the construction of the original.

[3] On August 23, 2024, a dump truck transporting crushed gravel and exceeding the 3-ton weight limit fell through the bridge deck causing significant damage.

The bridge is presently closed for safety assessments and potential months-long repairs.

[4] The driver suffered minor injuries and was issued a citation by Maine State Police the next day for a "bridge violation, causing damage to the bridge due to excessive weight".
