This deck girder bridge crosses high above the Iowa River in Iowa Falls.
Built in 1908, the bridge contains five deck girder spans crossing the Iowa River and a small road. These girders are set on concrete substructures, which tower over the river valley below.
This bridge is one of the largest on the Kansas City-St. Paul "Spine Line", and likely also one of the highest.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition, with little notable deterioration. Some substructures are beginning to spall.
