It took three years to complete the project. The structure was dismantled block by block, with each section marked and numbered. The granite pieces were stacked at the Surrey Commercial Docks, and then were shipped through the Panama Canal to Long Beach, California. From Long Beach, the granite blocks were trucked inland . The bridge was reassembled by matching the numbered stones and filling beneath the bridge with native soil for support during reconstruction. The work was done by Sundt Construction.
