Built in 1915, and widened in 1935-36, it is a well-preserved example of early concrete bridge construction, and is decoratively faced in local marble.

The arches are mounted on battered concrete piers, and the spandrels are faced in locally quarried gray marble.

[2] The bridge was built in 1915 to a design by Harry Leslie Walker of New York City, and was originally a single lane wide.

The 1910s were the first period in Vermont when concrete began to be used as a building material for bridges (supplanting the wooden covered bridges which were predominant prior to this because of a erroneous belief that concrete and metal would last longer and require less maintenance).

The bridge is a major marble landmark in the community, whose livelihood has depended on the stone for many years.
