Located in the town of Waverly, this large deck girder bridge crosses the Cedar River.
Originally built in 1903, likely to replace an older truss bridge, this structure features six spans of deck girders, arranged in a double track layout. These girders rest on stone substructures.
While many bridges were damaged or destroyed in flooding in 2008, this one survived. As a result, it is considered to be a Waverly Landmark.
Currently, the bridge is used as a trail. A small plaque on a rock near the bridge indicates the history of the bridge. It also is likely that American Bridge built the structure, although the missing plaque in the southwest corner of the bridge may possibly indicate that it was built by someone else, due to the use of four mounting holes.
Overall, the structure appears to be in fair condition. The superstructure appears to be in excellent condition, while the substructures are in rougher condition. Pier #2 (second pier from the west) appears to have begun to fail, splitting and sinking down the middle.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
