On January 9, 1857, the small council decided to build a bridge over the Russein Gorge for the expansion of the Oberländerstrasse. The municipalities of Disentis and Sumvitg jointly supplied 450 logs for the construction and another 400 for the falsework. Fr. 18,900.00 had to be spent on the woodcutting work and transport, and Fr. 21,900.00 on erection. The bridge is an early example of Howe's girder system in Switzerland. The work, built with simple manual means, represented a tremendous achievement at the time.
