There are currently two automobile bridges and one railway bridge that cross the Cape Cod Canal, each of which opened in 1935. An earlier set of bridges, also two for automobiles and one for rail traffic, opened between 1911 and 1913. Construction of the Cape Cod Canal began in 1909; the canal initially opened in 1914 and was completed in 1916.
The bridge and its sibling the Sagamore Bridge were constructed beginning in 1933 by the Public Works Administration for the United States Army Corps of Engineers, which operates both the bridges and the canal. Each bridge carries four lanes of traffic over a 616-foot (188 m) main span, with a 135-foot (41 m) ship clearance.
