It replaced the narrow, deteriorating wooden truss bridge crossing Johnson Creek in southeast Portland. Work to demolish the old bridge began in November 1981. The cost of the actual bridge totaled $93,450, with related road and abutment work adding another $74,800.The span was dedicated in January 1982. The interior of the bridge is finished with knotty pine, and a five-foot walkway separates the pedestrian and bicycle traffic from the 24-foot roadway. Five large windows on each side provide light and ventilation. A new roof was put on in 2002."
