Twin Bridge (Fayette, Iowa)
The Twin Bridge is a historic structure located in Twin Bridge Park southwest of Fayette, Iowa, United States. It spans the Little Volga River for 80 feet (24 m).[2] The Fayette County Board of Supervisors contracted with N.M. Stark and Company of Des Moines to build almost all of its bridges between 1900 and 1913. This concrete Luten arch bridge was completed about 1910 using a patented design by Indianapolis engineer Daniel Luten. Stark was a licensee for Luten and they built multiple bridges using his designs under a patent royalty agreement.[2] The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
