This 1,412-foot-long arch bridge opened in 1927. At the time, the bridge was considered exceptional because of its innovative use of reinforced concrete and because it was the widest roadway in South Carolina. The Gervais Street Bridge was the only bridge for motor vehicles that crossed the Congaree River in Columbia from 1927 until the Blossom Street bridge was built in 1953.

Its cast iron pedestals and lamps were designed by the U.S. Treasury Department , and feature the two state flag symbols, the crescent moon and palmetto tree.
