Description:

The Bollman Truss Railroad Bridge has the honorable distinction of being the world's only surviving wrought iron bridge. Built in 1869, the bridge is a historical landmark and receives regular maintenance to aid in its survival. Wrought iron bridges are not built any longer; concrete and steel is more favored in recent years for economy and strength.
