The bridge
originally spanned Antelope Creek some 10 miles
southeast of Eagle Point. In August 1987, the
structure was loaded onto a makeshift trailer
and volunteers hauled it to the City of Eagle
Point.
When the bridge
was rebuilt at the new site, arched openings
were cut into each side so school children could
be watched as they crossed the span. This
alteration caused the bridge to be removed from
the National Register of Historic Places. Since
then, the bridge has been re-sided in a fashion
that represents the original design. Now only
ribbon openings appear under the eves.
