The construction of a new bridge at Ninth Street in the 1990s made the bridge redundant, and it was proposed for demolition. Preservationists successfully diverted demolition funds to bridge preservation, and the bridge is being repaired to function as a pedestrian bridge between Great Falls and the Black Eagle community.[3]
