The bridge is actually one lane, not one-way. Driver etiquette calls for the first person to reach the bridge gets to go while the vehicle on the opposite side waits for that vehicle then proceeds. The original bridge was constructed in 1867 and replaced with the one in the photos in 1939. The only change between the two is that the 1939 rebuild placed railing on the sides of the bridge, which it never had before that. The bridge, which is a suspension bridge, goes through a yearly checkup to ensure safety, which was just completed 8-3-07, and the decking was replaced.
