The East Fork Road was still under construction when it was washed out during the great flood of March 1–2, 1938.[1] The East Fork Road project was abandoned as a result of the floods, leaving the bridge forever stranded in the middle of what is now the Sheep Mountain Wilderness.

Parts of the old asphalt roadway can still be found along the East Fork Trail which leads to the bridge, and there are still a number of concrete slabs which formed the foundations of destroyed bridges to the west of the Bridge to Nowhere. Indeed, the sign along the trail 30 feet east of the John Seals Bridge[2] which announces the start of the Sheep Mountain Wilderness is resting on the old roadbed.
