The state was affected only because the majority of the funds came from the states highway department in order to pay for the bridge to be built.
The community was given more routes across the Truckee River making it easier to get around and reach destinations. The community was affected by the annoyance of construction but in the end it benefited them greatly. Further, the bridge reduced traffic congestion by allowing two areas to cross the river in the downtown area.
