Going upstream from the mouth, the bridge was the third to cross the creek, hence its name.

Five arches cross the creek with the center arch 76 ft long, and the arches next to it 61 ft long.

The state highway curves north to cross the creek, then curves back east and leaves the creek valley.

There are four significant bridges that cross the creek.

During late 1933 and early 1934, the river flooded several times and made it difficult to cross the creek.
