The 105-foot Howe truss type bridge was built in 1932. The bridge was bypassed in 1963 and is now maintained by the Linn County Parks & Recreation Department as a pedestrian bridge across the river. Since 1990, the bridge has been the site of a Bridge Day festival held annually in the summer.{{cite web|url=http://democratherald.com/news/local/article_62eaaa4c-a977-11df-9bf1-001cc4c002e0.html|title=Homecoming, bridge day slated in Crawfordsville|publisher=democratherald.com |date=August 16, 2010|accessdate=February 20, 2012}} A small park next to the bridge includes a picnic table and fire pit.
