First mentioned in 1267 as the Babenwag ford, and in 1326 as the bridge.
Great economic importance for Gotthard traffic. Bridge construction and maintenance by Zug and Zurich. Rebuilt as a covered wooden bridge after destruction in the Sonderbund War of 1847. Replaced by a prestressed concrete bridge in 1960. The wooden bridge was relocated and re-erected upstream between Sennweid and Sihlmatt.

From here, the trail continues downstream on the left side. The hiking trail on the right side is closed due to a landslide.
