The property was added to the National Register on September 10, 1974, being the last surviving covered bridge in Clermont County.

[2] The bridge was permanently closed to all traffic in May 2010 after its floor and supporting structure was severely damaged by an overweight truck.

Repair and rehabilitation, including improvements to raise the weight limit from 3 to 12 tons, was initially estimated to cost $1.2 million USD.

[3] After funds and approval for the rehabilitation project were obtained, a request for bids was made in April 2013, with an updated engineer's estimate of work at $720,000.

[6] On February 11, 2014, the upper shell of the bridge unexpectedly collapsed, falling off the deck and into the river bed, as repair work was being performed.
