Dunkerton Bridge

The Dunkerton Bridge is a historic structure located in Dunkerton, Iowa, United States. The span carried a local street over Crane Creek for 212 feet (65 m). The three-span, filled spandrel arch bridge was built by the Marsh Engineering Company of Des Moines in 1909. It replaced an older span at a different location. The bridge served as the major entry point into the town from the north.[2] This bridge was also replaced by a newer bridge to the east, and this span now carries pedestrian traffic between Charma Park and Marble Street into downtown Dunkerton. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
