This iconic bridge spans the Des Moines River, linking the east and west sides of the city at the northern edge of the riverwalk loop. This single-arch pedestrian bridge features two paths crossing the Des Moines River, one for cyclists and one for pedestrians, with the walkway over the middle of the river having a glass floor.

Each year beginning in 2013, notable women from Iowa’s history are honored at this bridge. Local citizens provide the nominations, which are then reviewed by a committee that selects the recipients. Selections include women who have made a positive impact on the lives of others, achieved extraordinary accomplishments, inspired future generations, and who have been agents of change for the betterment of the state of Iowa, our nation, or the world.
