This bridge is a highlight for fans of the Lincoln Highway touring through Iowa. You can see an older photo of the bridge, before the road was repaved, at the Iowa Lincoln Highway Association website. The link is in the comments section.

I was so intent on finding this bridge that I missed the '59 Edsel station wagon for sale at the farm to the west. You can just see it in this photo. The man with the Edsel says he's a life-long resident of Greene County. He reports that the county engineer seems determined on replacing this handsome bridge with a culvert.

The Eureka Bridge
According to the late Gregory Franzwa, a well-known historian of the Lincoln Highway Association, this bridge was built in 1913 to replace a "...flimsy pony truss..." that collapsed from spring flood waters. He also says, "The five-arch spandrel fill concrete structure was one of the first designed by the Iowa State Highway Commission. It was built by the Marsh Engineering Co. of Des Moines." (Gregory Franzwa, The Lincoln Highway: Iowa, 1995, Patrice Press.)

This bridge is due to undergo massive rebuilding and restructuring - but not replacement. Officials recognize the historical significance of this bridge, which once carried the Lincoln Highway west of Jefferson.

Deck and railings
Plans call for the west railing to be carefully removed and restored. The substructure will be rebuilt and widened to support a new, wider deck. If the railing survives the removal, it will be restored to the new deck.

Welcome To The Four Bridges of Grand Junction
This is the west portal of the bridge that carries the second generation of the Lincoln Highway across Beaver Creek. At this location, you will find four generations of transcontinental transportation history: A bridge that carries the C&NW RR (Now UPRR) link of the transcontinental railroad, the first Lincoln Highway, the second Lincoln Highway (later US 30) and modern US 30.

The south face
The second generation of the Lincoln Highway was moved south of the C&NW tracks to eliminate two grade crossings. Many lives were lost when express trains clobbered automobiles at unprotected grade crossings. Elimination of grade crossings was a highway design priority.

The north face
This Lincoln Highway became US 30 in most of Iowa in 1926. Named highways were banned as today's familiar highway numbering system was put into place.

UPRR Bridge over Beaver Creek
Built by the Chicago & Northwestern Railway, this bridge carries the Chicago to Omaha link of the first transcontinental railroad. To the north of this bridge, you can see the 1915 Lincoln Highway bridge.

The Ornate Balustrades
Towns were proud to be on the transcontinental highway and ornate bridges was one way of demonstrating that pride. The wing walls were even inscribed with a letter L.

Looking West
The 1915 alignment of the Lincoln Highway followed the C&NW tracks on the north side, into Grand Junction. The bridge in the distance carries modern US 30 over old US 30 as it bypasses Grand Junction to the north.

The red, white and blue circles on the telephone pole comprise the old LH logos. Before highway signs, color key bands were painted on poles to show motorists the way. The logo is a red band, a wide white band with a blue "L" and a blue band to identify that the Lincoln Highway crosses this bridge.

Towns along the route of the new Lincoln Highway were proud to be included on the route. The designers of this bridge cast the upper case "L" into the wing walls to designate the Lincoln Highway. Just a few years later, the route would move about two miles south of here.
