The "Bridge that nobody wants" as it's been called is owned by the Warwick Historical Society. Little has been done in recent years to stabilize the Bridge since most of their attention is directed with Moland House with is Township owned. It's been cleaned up a bit in the last year after at least ten years of neglect.
