This stone arch was an absolute piece of art before it received the concrete jacket, and it could still be considered that.
Built in 1898, the bridge was originally built to cross Mud Creek and a wagon path. It received a concrete encasement in approximately 1910.
One of the largest stone arches in Iowa, the bridge is considered to be a must visit location for fans of the Rock Island.

The author has ranked this bridge as being moderately significant, due to the size and age. However, the significance is diminished because of the concrete jacket.
