Replacing Ancient Bridge At Canton With New 410-Foot Span
The old bow string bridge over the Maquoketa River in Canton will be replaced by July 1 with a modern steel and concrete structure from the A Olsen Company of Waterloo. Concrete piers were installed last fall as derricks lift a center beam to finish the span, with the county road realigned to meet the new abutment. The 2 ton rated, deteriorated bridge will be torn down, while Canton’s historic past as a thriving trade center is noted.
