Carries 5th Street E over Mud Creek
Design: slab
Design Details: "In September 1912, the Midwestern visionary Carl Fisher proposed to group of automotive businessmen a plan to build a road spanning from coast to coast. The route, later named the Lincoln Highway, would start in New York City, finish in San Francisco, an cross 358 miles through the state of Iowa on the way. This monumental undertaking was to be privately funded with the towns and counties profiting from its passage sharing a large part of the construction costs. Thus, a widespread advertisement campaign for the transcontinental highway was launched with each community along its path trying to outdo the next in making itself the most desirable rest stop. The town of Tama distinguished itself from the rest by constructing a special bridge for the route with the words "Lincoln Highway" spelled out in the concrete railing. This bridge remains a most unusual maker for this historic highway."
Historian: Juliet Landler, Engineer, August 1995 for HAER

With apologies to George Pope Morris…
Woodman, spare that tree!
Touch not a single bough!
In youth it sheltered me,
And I'll protect it now.
'Twas my forefather's hand
That placed it near his cot;
There, woodman, let it stand,
Thy axe shall harm it not.
Oops. It appears Mr. Morris was a little late.

The east railing
This bridge carried the original Lincoln Highway south into Chelsea, where it turned east. Some years ago, the highway bypassed Chelsea to the north with a long, gentle curve. The entire area was bypassed when US 30 moved to the north with a new alignment over the Bohemian Hills. Note the light standards.

The bridge is in a flood plain and water swept over this deck often.
