Construction began in late 2012 and was completed in January 2013.The 3-metre-wide (9.8 ft) bridge catering for both pedestrians and cyclists, as well as mobility-impaired users.

The initial bridge works included work in the Manutewhau Walk Reserve on the eastern side of the bridge, including replacing pine trees with native trees.Initially, the main function is to provide a west–east connection for the local area, though in the long run, it is intended to link into a future extension of the Northwestern Cycleway up to the bridge.
