After inspectors found it could no longer safely carry emergency vehicles, the town chose reconstruction over a modern span: the old bridge was taken down in July 2010 and a replacement placed over the Rock River the following month. Some sources attribute the original to Eugene P. Wheeler, while the National Register nomination lists the builder as unknown.
