Upper Bluffton Bridge

The Upper Bluffton Bridge was a historic structure located in Bluffton, Iowa, United States. It spanned the Upper Iowa River for 154 feet (47 m). This bridge was designed, fabricated and built by the Wrought Iron Bridge Company of Canton, Ohio for $2,831.23. This and the Lawrence Bridge were built at the same time, and it marked the first time that Winneshiek County had longer-span trusses built at rural river crossings instead of the smaller bowstring truss bridges. This bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. It was closed to traffic because of structural problems, and replaced in 2011. Plans at that time were to move the structure to the Millgrove Access Wildlife Area in Poweshiek County, Iowa.
