Alden Bridge, Spanning Iowa River at Main Street, Alden, Hardin County, IA
Summary
Significance: Alden Bridge was an early and important project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in Iowa. Constructed in concrete using rigid frame technology, it is a prototype of 1930s bridges, popular not only for its visual appeal, but also because its labor intensive construction provided many with work during this depressed era.
