Big Sioux River Bridge
According to the information by the county engineer and from my visit, that bridge spanned a tributary to the Big Sioux, just east of Big Sioux Road Bridge, a through truss bridge over the Big Sioux River itself. Both bridges are closed to traffic due to the road being washed out on many occasions. When I was there, I had to stop at this bridge and turn around because the road was impassable.
