200th Street Bridge
A few pictures of this bridge over the Wapsi at 200th street.
The bridge is closed to traffic at this time.
It has a flat deck with wood rails for the east approach, which also is partially over the stream. The bearings for the truss are mounted on pilings. The bridge is at a bend in the river, so erosion at the east end on the outside of the bend may be the reason for the closing.
The Wapsipinicon is a small stream this far north, and this bridge crosses it, not a branch.
Both bridge plaques are missing.
This is a nice tranquil little area surrounding the bridge.
