SUBJECT: HRDP Grant Application for Relocation of White Water Creek Bridge
INTRODUCTION
Attached is the Historic Resource Development Program (HRDP) grant application for
Relocation of the historic White Water Creek Bridge and a resolution in support of the
application.
BACKGROUND
The White Water Creek Bridge was constructed in 1872. This bridge is a remaining
span of a seven-span approach bridge built to serve a larger seven-span bridge built in
t868 over the Mississippi River at Dubuque. This historic bridge was relocated from its
original site in Dubuque to White Water Creek, 15 miles southwest of Dubuque near
Cascade. In the 1990's it was determined the bridge no longer could handle vehicular
traffic, and had to be replaced. The City of Dubuque agreed to accept ownership of the
bridge from Dubuque County, and to preserve it through reuse on a bike/hike trail in the
city.
In 1998, the City of Dubuque signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Federal
Highway Administration, State Historic Preservation Office, and Dubuque County, and
an Intergovernmental Agreement with the State Historic Preservation Office and
Dubuque County, that set forth the terms and conditions of the relocation of the historic
White Water Creek Bridge. The terms included a tentative schedule for relocation of the
bridge within three years as federal or state funds became available.
DISCUSSION
This project will relocate the White Water Creek Bridge to a bike/hike trail site in the
Bergfeld Recreatior~ Area in Dubuque Industrial Center West. A map is enclosed.
