Originally one of six spans crossing the Santa Ana River on La Cadena Street between Colton and Riverside, California, this bridge dated to the early 1900's. In 1933, San Bernardino County relocated it to Greenspot Road to complete a road from the Greenspot area to East Highlands. That section of road had been established by Mr. J.S. Edwards, who owned many acres of oranges in East Highlands and Greenspot but otherwise had to truck his fruit through Mentone and Redlands to reach his Gold Buckle Packing House in East Highlands. In July 1931, his employees cleared a five mile dirt portion of the road, saving nine miles of travel over the old route. Two years later, the county assumed responsibility for Greenspot Road, paved it, and placed the bridge there. In 1996, the City of Highland moved the bridge from Greenspot Road east of Alta Vista to Aurantia Park during a street improvement and bridge replacement project, and a new bridge across Plunge Creek was dedicated in 1997.
