The bridge was built by the Vincennes Bridge Company. Surveys began in 1933, construction started in December 1934, and the bridge was opened to traffic on May 14, 1936.[3] It was named after Cordell Hull, who served as the 47th United States Secretary of State from 1933 to 1944.[4] It was restored in the 2010s, and rededicated on July 2, 2012.[4]
