Allenton Iron Bridge

Town of Addison, Wisconsin

After purchasing the bridge from the Milwaukee Bridge and Iron Works for $796, it was constructed by local men in 1896. The bridge was the main access to Allenton from the west until a larger concrete bridge was built by the State in 1920. Local vehicle traffic continued using it until 1973 when it was designated a pedestrian bridge.

Marker can be reached from the intersection of Main Street (Wisconsin Route 33) and New Plat Street, on the right when traveling east.
