When listed on the National Register, it was one of the last two surviving kingpost truss bridges in the state; the other was the Verdigris Creek Bridge (c.1918), also in Antelope County near Royal.[3] It seems that the bridge no longer exists. The site is not listed on Nebraska State Historical Society's website.[4] It was delisted from the National Register in 2019.
