Matsell Bridge
The Matsell Bridge is a historic structure located northeast of Springville, Iowa, United States.  It carries Matsell Park Road for  over the Wapsipinicon River.  This bridge replaced a bowstring truss bridge that had been built in stages between 1870 and 1906. E.W.
Blumenschein, bridge design engineer for the Iowa State Highway Commission, recommended a plate girder bridge as a replacement.  Clifford Shoemaker, District Engineer of the Federal Bureau of Public Roads, approved the plans as the new span was built by the Works Progress Administration. It was constructed by Amos Melberg for about $22,300.  The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
