Description 

This bridge sits off a curve at the end of Main street in Florenceville, Iowa. The bridge is posted No Trespassing and Tree Farm, so it may have been built for vehicle access to the tree farm. It also has signage for a snowmobile trail, but seems wide enough for cars/pickups as well. The substructure is vertical I-beam bents. Construction date unknown.

State Line Snowmobile Trail Bridge
Posted July 14, 2017, by Don Morrison

I added this bridge today. If the community feels it isn't appropriate for this site because it may be modern, or whatever, feel free to remove it.

I do not know the build date or much other information about it, but I found it to be interesting.

I assume no loaded grain trucks will be driving over it anytime soon. If you're in the Upper Iowa river region, check it out!
