Originally planned as part of the Cross Florida Barge Canal project, the bridge was under construction at the time of the decision by President Richard Nixon to halt work on the canal project, and it was decided to complete the high-level bridge, which opened in 1972. The bridge was renamed in 1976 for R.N. "Bert" Dosh, an Ocala Evening Star newspaper editor who championed the construction of the canal.
