History

The first bridge - a wrought iron viaduct - was designed by Leffert L. Buck and completed in January 1873.^[2] In March 1889, after a heavy flood, the first bridge collapsed and a second bridge - a cantilever design - also designed by Leffert L. Buck was completed in January 1891.^[2] The second bridge was destroyed by another flood in January 1934 and a third bridge was completed by Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company two years later.^[3][4]
