About Fort Madison Bridge

The Fort Madison Bridge spans the Mississippi River and is a two-lane bridge connecting the mainland to Iowa. Built in 1928, the bridge is 645 feet long and has an impressive 124-foot steel arch span which stands over the Mississippi River. It was built as part of an effort to create a hard surface route through the state and was an incredibly important piece of infrastructure at the time, eventually earning it designation as a Historic Landmark by The National Register of Historic Places.
