This large deck girder bridge carries the JewEllsworth Trail across the South Skunk River, just outside of the town of Ellsworth.
Sitting along IA-175, the large deck girder crosses the river an impressive height above the river. The stone substructures of the bridge are rather large, carrying the deck girder spans.
After sitting abandoned for several years, the bridge was turned to a trail, which opened in 2016.
