In both 2002 and 2006, the bridge was listed as one of the "Eleven Most Endangered Historic Places in Nevada" by Preserve Nevada, a historic preservation organization partnered with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV).[4]
Due to structural and flood control concerns, the bridge was replaced in 2016.[5][6]
