According to local folklore, the bridge builder feared he wouldn’t finish the work on time and made a pact with the Devil. The Devil agreed to complete the bridge overnight in exchange for the soul of the first living being to cross it. After completion, the builder sent a dog across the bridge to trick the Devil.
