    This is the original location of the Ten Mile Creek Bridge, now located on the Trout Run Trail, The bridge was dismantled and relocated to Trout Run Trail in the spring of 2011.

    The R.D. Wheaton Bridge Company of Chicago built the bridge around 1895. It features a kingpost pony truss design, one of the simplest types of trusses, dating back to the Middle Ages.

    Many kingpost bridges were constructed on Iowa’s early roads in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, initially using a combination of timber and iron and later in all-metal configurations. The kingpost design is generally limited to relatively short spans.
