From Old to New

Over 150 years ago, a railroad bridge was constructed in downtown Cedar Rapids.

Time and flooding have washed parts of it away, but that didn't stop others from seeing all of the possibilities.

The video above includes images of the historical bridge, its current state, and the Alliant Energy LightLine to come.

The old CRANDIC/Rock Island Railroad Bridge was demolished in the 2023/2024 winter. Portions of the old bridge will be "recycled" and used in historical and directional signage.
