Located on the south side of Waterloo near the I-380/US-20/US-218 interchange, this small stone arch is one of the oldest along this route.
Built in 1880, it appears that this is an 8 foot stone arch, smaller than many along this route. However, it is made up for by the age.
The bridge is easily accessible from Texas Street, although it is oftentimes hidden by brush. It has stepped wing walls, typical of these types of arches.
At an unknown date, the north end was extended with corrugated metal pipe and fill. This extension approximately doubles the barrel length of the arch.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in excellent condition, with virtually no cracking or deterioration found. This is a huge testament to the quality of the stone used on this arch.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
