The Emmet County Board of Supervisors received a petition in January 1895 for a bridge across the East Fork of the Des Moines River in Lincoln Township.

They gave their approval in April of the same year, and in May the board adopted the plans of the King Bridge Company of Cleveland, Ohio.

The bridge includes elements of both the Pratt and Warren configurations in its single span.

A minor reconstruction was completed in 1937, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
