Built by J.G. White Engineering Corp., construction was started in 1928, and completed in 1929, at the cost of $1,365,101.84. It was opened for traffic on December 20, 1929. Originally a toll bridge, on November 1, 1947 at noon the toll was removed. In 1997 the bridge was refurbished.This was after a 1995 study which could not agree on a new bridge location, so $10 million was used for the refurbishment.
Work continues on the Madison / Milton bridge over the Ohio river. You can keep up on the progress at their Web Cam page.
