Bridgeport Bridge, Road bridge across Skunk River near Denmark, Iowa.
The Pennsylvania through truss bridge spans 240 feet across the Skunk River, featuring metal components manufactured by Carnegie Steel Company in 1904.
The Clinton Bridge and Iron Works constructed this steel bridge for $5,110 in 1904 to replace an older structure with deteriorating stone piers.
The Bridgeport Bridge represents early 20th-century American engineering practices and stands as part of the Highway Bridges of Iowa Multiple Property collection.
The bridge carried local traffic between Des Moines and Lee counties until its closure, measuring 293 feet in length with a 15-foot roadway width.
This structure holds the record as the longest pin-connected truss bridge in Iowa, featuring a distinctive polygonal upper chord design.
