This is a cool bridge over Hawkeye Ave, just outside of Nora Springs.
I have been told that this bridge is supposively haunted, making a even better bridge. The bridge cannot be accessed from downtown Nora Springs, because a big bridge on Hawkeye Ave over the Shell Rock River is closed, which is unfortunate.
This bridge is back in the woods, where the INAR is on a huge fill after crossing the DM&E (Ex MILW)
The legend I have been told is that this bridge, called the Gaylord Bridge, was built 1889, and a known serial killer was hung here by the towns people.
This bridge, and the Gaylord Mansion are favorite hang outs of local teenagers.
This bridge is weird, because it has a main arch, but then little pedestrian underpasses on both sides, which makes the bridge harder to build.
To get to this bridge, go across two sets of railroad tracks on Hooker Ave, turn left on 9th St, and then a left on a little road, which is minimum maintnance.
The bridge is around a hill and steep curve.
The photo above is looking at the south face.
