Carries County Road M-16/370th Street over West Nishnabotna River Bridge
Design: truss/deck/other
Design Details: Other deck trussEngineers associated with the Iowa State Highway Commission (ISHC) designed the
Nishnabotna River Bridge in the summer of 1929. The bridge's skewed orientation and relatively
long span length prompted ISHC to produce a special design for the trusses instead of relying on
its standard plans. On August 20, 1929, the ISHC contracted with the McCormack Construction
Company of Lohrville, Iowa, to construct the bridge for a sum of $30,900. Using steel rolled by
Inland Steel Company of East Chicago, Indiana, McCormack Construction Company completed
the bridge the following year. It has since functioned in place without substantial alteration
(Fraser 1990).
