The bridge was originally built to serve a marble quarry operation on the east side of the river, and had dry laid stone abutments.  It is one of only two covered bridges in Middlebury.  It had minor repairs made in the 1960s.  In 1994 the bridge had extensive work done by Jan Lewandoski, in which the bridge was completely removed from its crumbling marble abutments, and new concrete abutments were created for it.
