The bridge is open to single-lane traffic along 400N in Bartholomew County which spans from U.S. Route 31 just north of Columbus, Indiana to Columbus Municipal Airport, the former site of Bakalar Air Force Base. Because portions of 400N are low-lying the road and bridge are occasionally closed due to high water from the Flat Rock River.
New Hope Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
