Notes
  • Significance: The Chippewa River Bridge is a seven-span, Parker truss. It was erected in 1933. According to Cultural Resource Management in Wisconsin, there were thirty-six Parker overhead trusses remaining in Wisconsin as of September 1983. Many have been subsequently removed, thereby increasing the value of those twenty-four Parker trusses (including the Chippewa River Bridge) that remain. With its polygonal top chord, riveted connections and State Highway Commission design, the Chippewa River Bridge is locally significant as a good example of the Parker truss type. Further, with its seven spans, the Bridge has statewide significance as the longest (1,242 feet), multiple span (seven) Parker truss in Wisconsin.
