It was built by Sheldon & Savannah Jewett, who are credited with building all of Montgomery's surviving 19th century covered bridges.

The bridge's exterior is clad in vertical board siding, and it is covered by a metal gable roof.

When situated across the Trout River on Gibou Road, it sat on irregularly laid stone abutments faced in concrete.

It is known to have been built by the town's Jewett brothers, who are credited with building Montgomery's other surviving covered bridges.

As of 2003, the bridge was reported to be in a local construction yard, awaiting repairs and a determination by the town of where to place it.
