Built in 1876 by Charles Austin Broughton and his son Frank, it is one of more than twenty surviving Paddleford-truss bridges in northern New England, with added arches.

A postcard-famous gateway to the resort village of Jackson, the bridge has been documented by the Historic American Engineering Record. It remains open to vehicular and foot traffic.
