The bridge was built in 1860 by John Davidson and features a town lattice truss and a laminated arch system.

[1][3][4] The two openings to the bridge are uniform with each other and the gable stones have a flat, chamfered design.

This was an extension of Covered Bridge Road in the town of Rockland, in Sullivan County, New York.

[4][2][3] Describing the original proposal for the bridge, the Youngsville Local Record newspaper recounted:[9][10] "That the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars be levied and assessed upon the county of Sullivan, and paid to the Commissioner of Highways of the town of Rockland to be applied on the building of a bridge over the Willowemock Creek, on the road leading from Liberty to the West field Flats, near the house of Erastus Sprague in said town of Rockland.

In 1984, the Sullivan County's Department of Public Works, in conjunction with Milton S. Graton, began restoring the bridge using original construction techniques.

A decision was also made to increase the bridge's load limit, which was achieved by the addition of laminated arches.

[7][3][6] Today, the bridge is owned and maintained by Sullivan County, New York, and is open to cars.
