This is the third suspension bridge at this location. The first was built in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. In 1936, a second bridge was constructed to replace the first that had washed away. The second bridge did a lot better, lasting until it too washed away in 1997. Today's bridge, the third, was built in 2000. | This is the third suspension bridge at this location. The first was built in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
