The Beaver Creek Bridge was a historic bridge located to the east of Perry, Iowa, United States. The 100-foot (30 m) span carried traffic on M Avenue over Beaver Creek.[2] The Dallas County Board of Supervisors bought a rainbow arch bridge design from Des Moines engineer James B. Marsh. They contracted with his son Frank who owned F.E. Marsh & Co. of Jefferson, Iowa to build the bridge for $8,075.[2] The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1] It has subsequently been removed and replaced.
