Repairs in 1985 led to reopening with an eight-ton limit, later reduced to three tons.

[6] In 2008, with the help of federal funds and local labor, the bridge was replaced with a look-alike using trusses reinforced with metal braces, laminated beams that look like timber, concrete approaches, and industrial roofing made to resemble wooden shakes.

The one-way bridge, still 17 feet (5.2 m) wide, as was the original, has a load limit of 10 tons.
