This bridge was completed and opened for traffic in December 1911. It was a gala event with officials from Lincoln and Omaha here for the event, opening the way for surfaced roads to con nect with the bridge. This bridge was in operation until the late 20's when the present bridge was built.

When it was closed in the depression years every depositor was paid in full from the personal funds and efforts of Mr. Pollock.

The development of this traffic is for the future to decide. Mr. Pollock was married on December 17, 1890, to Miss Lida Patterson, daughter of pioneer residents, James and Ellen Pat-) terson.
