The Gilliece Bridge is a historic structure located west of Bluffton, Iowa, United States. It spans the Upper Iowa River for 151 feet (46 m). In 1872 Winneshiek County started to replace its older short span timber and stone bridges. This Bowstring through arch-truss bridge was designed, fabricated and built by the Wrought Iron Bridge Company of Canton, Ohio in 1874 for $6,969.47. Thomas Dwyer, a local stonemason, built the masonry abutments. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
