The Lincoln Highway Bridge in Tama, Iowa, is a 20-foot, single-span reinforced-concrete slab bridge carrying a 24-foot roadway about 6 feet above the Tama Mud Creek streambed. Its railings, 3 feet 4 inches high, spell out "Lincoln Highway" in individual concrete letters, with outward-curving ends support tapered, 6-foot lampposts topped by globe lights. The decorative railings were paid for by local boosters eager to advertise the newly designated Lincoln Highway and Tama's place along its route, giving the bridge its distinctive early-20th-century promotional character. - AsNotedIn
