Historic Hale bridge moves over

February 19, 2003 By admin

The relocation of an historic bridge in the eastern Iowa town of Hale is underway. Crews met along the Wapsipinicon River Tuesday to start dismantling the 1889-era bridge. It’s the only three-span bow bridge remaining in Iowa and is listed on the National Register. It’s being taken apart and moved nearby temporarily. A modern bridge will be built in its place by September. Jones County historical preservationists say the old bridge will eventually be reassembled either in a Hale park, on the Grant Wood trail or in the town of Olin.
