After the original Echelsbach Bridge was opened to traffic in early 1930 after many different plans (concrete bridge, iron truss bridge, dam), it was renovated several times, most recently in 2014. In 2017, a new bridge was ordered and work began immediately. First, however, a temporary bridge had to be built, which is considered the largest temporary bridge in Germany. The temporary bridge was opened to traffic in mid-2018, and the new one in 2021. The temporary bridge has since been dismantled and the construction site has been largely renaturalized. Next to the bridge there is now an information pavilion with information about the old bridge and the construction work for the new bridge, and also with references to numerous suicides that have been committed from the bridge.

The bridge arches are a protected area within a larger protected area, as they have been designated as a Natura 2000 area to preserve bat colonies, and the bridge as a whole is located in the "Ammerschlucht an der Echelsbacher Brücke" nature reserve
