Black Hawk Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The Black Hawk Bridge spans the Mississippi River, joining the town of Lansing, in Allamakee County, Iowa, to rural Crawford County, Wisconsin. Named for Chief Black Hawk, it is popularly referred to as the "Lansing bridge".
This riveted cantilever through truss bridge was completed in 1931. It carries Iowa State Highway 9 and Wisconsin State Highway 82.
The 1999 movie The Straight Story has aerial footage of the Richard Farnsworth character driving a riding lawn mower across it.
