Waupaca County is among those Wisconsin counties unique for the number of stone-arch bridges they once had. Of the eleven remaining bridges identified in Waupaca County by the 1986 publication Historic Highway Bridges in Wisconsin, Volume 1: Stone and Concrete Arch Bridges, this structure is unique in the city and county as the one with the most spans and the greatest length.
