Monsrud Bridge

Monsrud Bridge is a historic structure originally located northwest of Waterville, Iowa, United States. It spanned Paint Creek for 43 feet (13 m). The King Iron Bridge Company of Cleveland fabricated and erected the Bowstring pony arch structure in 1887. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1998.

The bridge was replaced with a low water crossing and abandoned in place. In 2004, it was moved to the Yellow River State Forest. It was removed from the NRHP in 2022.
