The bridge has been structurally reinforced with six W8x12 wide-flange steel beams replacing wood stringers. The bridge is enclosed with painted wood siding and a galvanized metal roof.^[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.^[1]

The 1881 bridge was replaced by another covered bridge in 2001.^[3]
