Previous bridges

The original bridge at the location was an 1878 wrought iron bridge, downstream from the current bridge's position. It was replaced by a single-track bridge built in 1890 at that same location.

Current bridge

The bridge was designed by Albert Lucius and built by McClintic-Marshall Company of Pittsburgh between March 1908 and May 1910 for the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad. The bridge is notable in that the railroad proceeded with the cantilever design despite the collapse of the Quebec cantilever bridge during construction in 1907.
