The original steel truss bridge opened on 20 February 1965.[1] On 6 May 2009 a two-lane replacement concrete bridge opened immediately to the east overcoming restrictions on vehicle height with the original demolished.[2][3][4]

In June 2018, a nearly identical parallel bridge opened on the site of the 1965 bridge with the 2009 built bridge becoming one way heading north.[5][6][7][8]
