This bridge is an attractive example of a mid-20th century bridge, and an example of the most common form of bridge type during that period, the steel stringer (multi-beam). The bridge features an architectural detailing including decorative railing, curved abutment parapet detailing, and a bronze plaque with a scrollwork border. The bridge sits on concrete bents which have a number of curved features to them. Overall, the bridge exhibits attractive, yet simple, streamlined design that has a somewhat modern look to it.
The bridge was a somewhat early example of a continuous stringer bridge, since in this period simple spans including those with pin and hanger details were more common. Continuous stringer spans eliminate expansion joints which can collect moisture and cause deterioration, so continuous stringers are generally considered to require less maintenance and offer a longer service life.
Sadly, this bridge is apparently being replaced and demolished, despite the fact that the bridge appeared to be in a condition conducive to rehabilitation. The new bridge will have no historic value, nor will it have any attractive design, and as such the demolition of the Spillville Bridge will be a historical and aesthetic loss to the community.
This historic bridge has been demolished. This map is shown for reference purposes only.
