The bridge was built in 1914 by the Missouri Valley Bridge and Iron Company, who bid $13,700 for its contract.

Lead builder F. L. Rice used a concrete spandrel arch plan for the bridge, a contemporary design which has since fallen out of use.

The bridge is currently closed to vehicle traffic and is used as a fishing site for a local park.
