Sutliff Bridge
The Sutliff Bridge is a bridge over the Cedar River at Sutliff, a Johnson County community near Lisbon,〔''Iowa Atlas and Gazetteer'' (2008) DeLorme Map, Yarmouth, Maine. p. 44〕 Iowa, United States. A Parker truss bridge, it was built in 1897 and 1898 at a cost of approximately $12,000.〔(HISTORY OF THE SUTLIFF BRIDGE ), Sutliff community website, 2008. Accessed 2008-10-31.〕 J.R. Sheely was the engineer for the original Sutliff Bridge. After a modern replacement was built over the Cedar in 1983, the bridge was slated for destruction, but it was ultimately saved,〔(Far from ordinary, but not a bridge too far ), ''The Daily Iowan'', 2004-07-09. Accessed 2008-10-31.〕 and on May 15, 1998, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.〔 Although the bridge remained a celebrated location for locals and for visitors from across Iowa,〔 including a 5k foot race beloved as the “worst road race in America", it succumbed to massive floods in the second week of June 2008: while the river normally flowed many feet below the bottom of the bridge,〔 the floods topped the bridge's deck, and one of the bridge's spans was washed away on June 13〔(Floodwaters sweep away historic Sutliff Bridge ), ''The Des Moines Register'', 2008-06-14. Accessed 2008-10-31.〕 as the surrounding countryside was inundated with vast amounts of water.〔(Cedar tops historic Sutliff Bridge ), ''Gazette Online'', 2008-06-13. Accessed 2008-10-31.〕 It is estimated that restoring the bridge will cost $1.7 million. Most of this money would come from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), with the rest coming from donations and local governments; both FEMA and the Johnson County Board of Supervisors have agreed in principle to repair the bridge. The bridge reconstruction was supervised by VJ Engineering of Coralville, Iowa and construction was completed by Iowa Bridge and Culvert of Washington, Iowa. In October 2012 a ribbon cutting ceremony was held opening the bridge to public use for the first time in four years. 〔Supervisors vote to restore Sutliff Bridge, ''Cedar Rapids Gazette'', 7 Apr 2010, http://gazetteonline.com/local-news/flood-recovery/2010/04/07/supervisors-vote-to-restore-sutliff-bridge〕
