Originally constructed by the Frederick and Pennsylvania Line Railroad Company (F&PL) in 1872.

In 1915, the bridge was surveyed as part of the Interstate Commerce Commission's effort to establish freight rates for the Parent railroad.

As of 2021, the bridge is in active rail service, operated by the Walkersville Southern RR.

The original plan for the railroad called for it to cross the Monocacy River below Tuscarora Creek and therefore, no bridge was located by Gitt in 1867.

The finalized location for the railroad called for a bridge over Tuscarora Creek approximately 300 feet south of the Monocacy River crossing for the road.
