Construction History
editIt was built in 1888 by the King Iron Bridge & Manufacturing Co. and George E. King Bridge Co. It is a Baltimore through truss.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
Like the nearby Colclesser Bridge, it was built in 1933 from one of multiple spans of the Columbus Loup River Bridge (which was built in 1888 and had been disassembled and replaced early in 1933). It was used as a county road bridge until 1984, when it was sold to a private rancher.[2]
