It was closed to vehicular traffic in 1979 was used briefly as a pedestrian bridge.^[2] then closed completely to all traffic for safety reasons. There is now no public access to the bridge's actual deck, but both approaches are accessible on foot. There is a nearby similar but shorter version of this bridge also built by the Berlin Iron Bridge Co. still in use linking River Road and NY 56 at Yaleville, New York. In the late 1950s tragedy struck on the parabolic bridge. A small boy while walking to school one morning lost his footing and slipped on some ice and fell under the railing into the Raquette River where he drowned.
