The bridge is owned by the state of Florida and was completed in 1931 by Austin Brothers Bridge Company. The bridge was a critical component of the area, serving as the primary road for many years.

However, the bridge eventually closed down to road traffic as an updated bypass bridge was built in 1971. While there is no possibility of vehicular traffic ever crossing the bridge again, it does still stay open for pedestrians and bicycles.
