Court Avenue Bridge

The Court Avenue Bridge is a historic structure located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States.

It became a contributing property in the Civic Center Historic District in 1988, and was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 15, 1998 as a part of the Highway Bridges of Iowa MPS.

Both of the earlier bridges were reconstructed in the 1960s and their original ornamentation was removed at the time.

The Court Avenue Bridge was designed by architect James B. Marsh.

Street lamps with round globes and metal work that reflected the 1910s were added to the bridge in 1986 as a part of a $1.8 million project to refurbish Court Avenue between the bridge and the Polk County Courthouse.
