This bridge is on a quiet road surrounded by farms.

The "(Iron/Steel Manufacturer)" at the end "Inland Steel Co. of East Chicago, Indiana (Iron/Steel Manufacturer)" denotes that Inland was only the manufacturer of the steel.
I see you have the builder listed as "Inland Steel". Inland Steel was one of the major steelmakers, but I'm not sure they ever had a construction division (as U.S. Steel had with American Bridge). Did Inland Steel actually erect the span, or is that just the imprint from the rolling mill seen in the photo?
Boy, finding an intact truss bridge anywhere in demo-happy Wisconsin is a chore, but this one is even close enough to me where it won't bust the bank to put gas in the car to go visit it! I'm planning a visit tomorrow; I'll post pics.
I was out there in early April. Its a shame, but it's in sad shape. If it doesn't get some attention, it won't be long before it gets replaced. It's a beautiful piece and fits the rustic landscape in the area.
