The bridge location, specifically known as Indian Ford, also played a significant historical role, as Indians, wagons, and the Pony Express crossed the river on rock were lucky to get She also reminisced about riding, the inter-urba-n railroad, also known as the "the old Orem, "as it passed through the area, "It used to swing from side to side and the seat backs were fixed so that, you could push it from to one end of the seat to the other, allowing you to always sit in a forward direction with the train." Over the years, numerous activities have centered around this site, including river diving, romantic evenings for parking couples, and "chicken" contests as motorized vehicles began to use the structure. Troops from Camp Williams trained regularly at the bridge, perfecting their bridge demolition techniques and, once, a vandal tried to seriously blow up the structure, placing live explosives beneath it. , Several local residents responded with concern after another historical bridge, south of Highway 73 was destroyed. Their letters, along with efforts from the State Historical Society, helped save the 9600 North bridge after rumors spread of its impending destruction.

A passenger, who happened to be in the car at the time of the incident, saw a "red vehicle" driving in the area but could not give any more accurate description. In a similar incident, a Lehi woman reported that, while driving, the window of her vehicle was shot by what she believed to be a BB gun. She showed the investigating officer a piece of glass she recovered from the window, which led the officer to the same conclusion. The incident caused $150 in damages to the car and temporary hearing discomfort to the driver.

The rock outcroppings were removed in 1985 along with the river dredging, to reduce flooding dangers of Utah Lake. Naylor reported that the trail system work also began in 1985, with the dredging of the Jordan River, and added that the bridge restoration, new bridge construction, road realignment, and trail system paving ran a bill of approximately $400,000. Naylor concluded with a remark on the newly dedicated 11.5 mile trail section.That piece of trail from Utah Lake to the Narrows has to be the premiere trail in the state." These two bridges will play significant roles in the growing parkway system that will eventually link to the Provo River Parkway, east of Utah Lake, continue up Provo Canyon to Deer Creek Reservoir, and end at Jordanelle State Park, north of Heber. Work will begin this summer in extending the trail system north through Bluffdale to the Great Salt Lake and south to the Provo River Parkway.
