On September 15, 1892, the Brunswick Telegraph reported that the bridge, with temporary planking, was complete and commented that it was "as substantial a piece of work as one would wish to see. There is no vibration, even when a number are crossing it at one time."

The bridge was painted by October 20, 1892.

The suspension structure cost $2,000 to build.
