The bridge was first built in 1954 and has been replaced around the summer of 1999 along with the Diamond Run Viaduct in order to accommodate future travel needs.[1] The bridge was improved with a $34.5 million budget.[2] The bridge was widened as part of the general turnpike widening project that took place between the Norristown and Valley Forge exits.[3]
