Bloomington Road bridge near Marion to be demolished

The 90-year-old truss bridge on a still-gravel Lincoln Highway loop in Linn County will be replaced, the Cedar Rapids Gazette reports.

The bridge was not old enough to be an official part of Lincoln Highway (the Marion routing was changed shortly before construction) but is certainly in the character of Iowa bridge construction of the era.

The current bridge will be demolished by the end of October and a replacement built next year, the article says.
