The Goldfield Bridge was a historic structure located in Goldfield, Iowa, United States. It was a 158-foot (48 m) Concrete deck girder span over the Boone River.[2] The bridge was built in 1921 for $40,584 by the Iowa Bridge Company. It was the most expensive structure built in Wright County up to that time.[2] This bridge replaced an earlier pinned through truss span built by Des Moines bridge builder N.M. Stark. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1] The present bridge replaced the historic structure in 2004.
