The 364m (1,194') long bridge has a 132m (433') long arch span.
The $41m dollar 8-lane bridge opened in 2007.

This is the 1973 6-lane interstate bridge that it replaced.

Terry Holt: that's at Dumas the bridge is what East enders called it. Revere is west of there. If it was on time probably around 1015am due in at Ft. Madison around 1055 or so Blind Note trying to figure out where you were standing when you shot this it's perfect!! you must have walked in on south side of tracks.

Dumas Trainbridge

I got up yesterday morning way before sunrise to make my up to the most rugged and remote corner of our Clark County to an old railroad ghost town called Dumas. Population zero now. Only one house standing. A few cellars and foundations and a tunnel to drive under the train tracks. Sometimes inacessible. Dumas was born around 1880 when the railroad came through. History has it that some of the stranger happenings generate from this area. This is the train bridge where trains leaving Iowa cross the Des Moines River to start probable short trip through Clark County at 70 mph.

I used this map to determine where the Santa Fe crossed the Des Moines River.

HistoricBridges, this webpage has several construction photos
"This very large and impressive concrete arch bridge has been extensively rehabilitated. As a result of rehabilitation, structural condition is very good, but there was a notable loss of historic integrity: everything above the arch ribs and between the piers was demolished and replaced, albeit with new materials closely matching the original appearance. Thus, the piers and arch ribs are original, while columns, deck, deck stringers, and railing are all-new."

It makes you wonder how twisty the original Lincoln Highway was if this bypass was an improvement. Note that the bridge itself has a curve.

1996 Hodenpyl Suspension Bridge over Manistee River near Mesick, MI

(Satellite, 740 photos)

Angel Ross posted two photos with the comment:

As you drive along M-37 in Northern Michigan, you’ll come across a turnoff for a suspension bridge that spans the Manistee River just southwest of Mesick. 

This is the Little Mac Bridge, a popular spot for tourists and locals alike.

The wooden suspension bridge is located northeast of the town of Manistee in the heart of the Manistee National Forest. It is a popular spot for hikers, photographers, and nature lovers alike, and it provides stunning views of the river and surrounding forest.

If you’re looking for a picturesque spot to enjoy nature and take in the beauty of Michigan, the Little Mac Bridge over the Manistee River is the perfect destination.

Dan Willey: It's called Hodenpyl suspension bridge or the North Trail suspension bridge. Little Mac is in Reed City and is a replica of the real thing.

OVERVIEW FROM SOUTHEAST. - South Eighth Street Viaduct, Spanning Little Lehigh Creek at Eighth Street (State Route 2055), Allentown, Lehigh County, PA
[This is the bridge before the 2016 rehab.]

Significance: The South Eighth Street Viaduct (Albertus L. Meyers Bridge) is one of the earliest surviving examples of "monumental" reinforced concrete construction. Initially planned in 1900 as a steel truss structure over the Little Lehigh Creek, the final result, built more than a decade later, represents the financial collaboration between the Allentown Bridge Company's founders and Harry Trexler, owner of the Lehigh Portland Cement Company. At the turn of the twentieth century, concrete and related products were becoming an important component in the Lehigh Valley's economy alongside the earlier iron and steel industries. The South Eighth Street Viaduct is fine example of the adaptation of architecture and engineering to local landscapes and economic needs. The structure was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. [HAER_data]
