The bridge was demolished in 1979. Some of its timbers were combined with timbers from Meadows Bridge, also demolished in 1979, to construct a covered pedestrian bridge, Centennial Covered Bridge, over the Coast Fork Willamette River in Cottage Grove.[4]
The Howe truss structure, 90 feet (27 m) long, was the second covered bridge at this location.[5] The first Brumbaugh Bridge was a 92-foot (28 m) Howe truss structure built in 1925.[5]
