Built to connect Big Spring with Fremont Spring, the Pleasant View Hotel and Sanitarium, and the elk pasture, the original bridge later also provided access to Hopewell Hospital, which eventually became the first county hospital. The original bridge was condemned in 1984, removed in 1991 by the Wyoming National Guard, and restored in 1992 by the North Dakota National Guard.
