The location for the bridge was found when it was decided to replace the deteriorating wooden truss bridge that crossed Johnson Creek in SE Portland. The cost of the bridge eventually totaled $93,450, with road and abutment work adding another $74,800.
The bridge interior features knotty pine. A five-foot walkway separates the pedestrian and bicycle traffic from the 24-foot roadway.
Five large windows on each side provide light and ventilation.

Exit I-205 at Foster Road east.
Turn south on SE 134 to Deardorf Road and travel for one half mile.
