 According to Ward Herrmann, “When the new road was constructed from Margaretville to Arena, it crossed the stream on a modern iron bridge below the old route, and the covered bridge was left abandoned.” In 1935 it was moved to its present location on property owned by the Tuscarora Club south of Margaretville off Mill Road.It was shortened to 24 feet and became a Kingpost truss.These changes rendered it ineligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
