As of 2019[update], the bridge carries over 5,000 vehicles per day across the Kentucky River[2] along St. Clair Street to Bridge Street, joining Downtown Frankfort with South Frankfort.

The bridge gets its name from the humming noise it makes as vehicles travel across its open-grate steel deck, which replaced a solid flooring in 1937.

In 2022, the city of Frankfort issued an official apology to the families of the two men, and erected a historic marker at the site.

Repairs were started in March 2021 to repair the damage and to inspect for further damage caused when an unmoored floating marina's roof hit the bottom of the bridge on March 3, 2021, during high river levels.
