[2] In 1915 Calhoun County requested the Iowa State Highway Commission (ISHC) and Des Moines engineer James B. Marsh to design a bridge for this crossing.

The ISHC designed a double span concrete girder structure, while Marsh submitted his patented single-span rainbow arch configuration.

While no longer in use, the bridge remains in place just south of the replacement span.

[1] In 2020, the bridge and some adjacent land was turned into a roadside park managed by Calhoun County Conservation.
