Bridge Case Histories,

The original Lowry Avenue Bridge crossing the Mississippi River was originally constructed in 1905. This bridge was demolished after 51 years and replaced in 1958 with a new 5-span truss bridge with a total length of 889 ft and a width of 57.2 ft with a 33 ft clearance. After 100 years, the piers for the bridge exhibited deterioration and the bridge was closed on April 25, 2008 due to safety concerns.
