Bridge #42 was originally built in 1914, over Jim Creek on the Jordan Rd, approximately 3.5 miles southeast of Arlington, between the City of Arlington and the City of Granite Falls. This bridge was too narrow for modern automobiles.
The bridge was functionally obsolete with severe horizontal sight distance issues on both approaches and vertical sight distance issues on the bridge as well as on the approaches. The bridge had been restricted to one lane, stop controlled since 1999.
Travel along the road was improved with the construction of a new, two-lane bridge and realignment, which corrected sight distance challenges.
