South Avery Creek Bridge
Posted November 9, 2008, by Bob Davis (bobdaviscfi [at] earthlink [dot] net)

Bridge carries 200th Avenue vehicular traffic across South Avery Creek about two miles from its confluence with the Des Moines River. Photos taken November 9, 2008 any my coordiantes (41.07516, -92.54430) match closely with those provided by BridgeHunter.
