Due to heavy road traffic on the aging, one-lane bridge, construction on a new steel and concrete bridge to bypass the covered bridge occurred in the summer of 2006. According to Ephrata Township supervisor Clark Stauffer, the bridge has been disassembled and will be reassembled a few miles downstream to replace an existing one lane Middle Creek Road bridge.[4] It was located at 40°10′11.4″N 76°12′16.8″W (40.16983, −76.20467) before being disassembled.[5]
