The Shell Rock Bridge is a historic bridge located in Shell Rock, Iowa, United States. It spans the Shell Rock River for 266 feet (81 m).[2] On May 11, 1915, the Butler County Board of Supervisors approved contracts for the Waterloo, Iowa bridge contractor Miller-Hey Construction Co. to build three bridges. This concrete filled spandrel arch bridge was completed in the fall of 1915 for $16,500.[2] The bridge was designed by the Iowa State Highway Commission. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
