Sutliff Bridge, Historic truss bridge in Johnson County, Iowa
The Sutliff Bridge extends 827 feet across the Cedar River with three spans utilizing a Pin-Connected Parker Through Truss design and 15-foot width.
Constructed between 1897 and 1898 by J.R. Sheely and Company of Des Moines, the bridge replaced a ferry service that operated since 1838.
More than one thousand residents gathered for the opening ceremony in June 1898, marking the beginning of a new transportation era for the community.
The bridge now functions as a pedestrian crossing connected to a public park, following extensive reconstruction after the 2008 Cedar River flood damage.
The structure represents an early example of wagon truss bridge engineering, with restoration costs reaching 1.7 million dollars after the 2008 flood damage.
