Sumner Bridge

The Sumner Bridge is a historic concrete deck girder bridge located in Sumner, Iowa, spanning the Little Wapsipinicon River for 125 feet. Built in 1916 through a collaboration between Fayette and Bremer Counties, this architecturally significant structure features concrete abutments and piers with distinctive bullnosed cutwaters. Recognized for its historical importance, the bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998, making it an interesting site for tourists and researchers interested in early 20th-century engineering and local history.
