Longest Des Moines River bridge planned in Iowa
Work has begun on the Des Moines river bridge in Mahaska County near Bellefontaine, with Ben Cole & Son of Ames as successful bidders. The five 150-foot truss spans and nine 50-foot I-beam approaches will total 1230 feet 10 inches, resting on fifteen piers and later surpassing Ottumwa’s Market Street bridge as the longest in Iowa. It will cross about a mile north of the Bellefontaine bridge and connect new highway sections in Marion and Mahaska counties.
