The bridge was designed by Robinson and Steinman of New York who also supervised the construction. Although the Maine State Legislature appropriated $1.2 million for bridge construction, the bridge was built for $850,000.

In 1932 the bridge was awarded First Prize for the Most Beautiful Bridge constructed in the United States in 1931 by a committee of architects and engineers appointed by the American Institute of Steel Construction.
