A vintage postcard of the Dam and Fourth Street Bridge area in downtown Waterloo, Iowa, likely from the early 20th century (circa 1900-1915). This area was historically the main commercial hub of the city. The first bridge at this specific crossing was built in the 19th century. The current Fourth Street Bridge has undergone several renovations over the years, including the addition of new lighting in 2023.

Judging by the flood wall on the far right, this river has some significant floods.

I normally don't note UCEB (Ugly Concrete Eyesore Bridges), but I normally don't come across a construction photo. At least these steel girders have some character with the bottom chord curve.
