The bridge is listed in the National Register of Historical Places .
Picnic tables are available and some annual events are held there.
At the bridge go left on Centerville Road to the Centerville Museum and the pioneer Centerville Cemetery . Taking a right across the metal bridge is Honey Run Road to Paradise. The Gold Rush brought the first white settlers to the Paradise area. Before then for years the Ridge was home to the Maidu indians. One of the explanations given for its name come from the early mining days when Paradise consisted of mainly gambling halls and saloons.
