[2] The area in which this bridge was built was a pivotal transportation corridor in the early 20th century.

The Chicago and North Western Railroad built the Boone Viaduct upstream from this location in 1901.

[2] Because of its narrow width of only 16 feet (4.9 m) and an increase in traffic, a new bridge was required.

The contract to build the structure was awarded in November 1927 to the A. Olson Construction Company of Waterloo, Iowa for $77,900.
