The Irvine Park Drive Bridge is a historic Chippewa Falls landmark that reflects early 20th-century bridge design. Built in 1907 and later moved to its current location, it offers a small but meaningful connection to the city’s transportation history.

• What you’ll see:
  A bridge with Pratt truss construction, a design used in Wisconsin from 1895 to 1910. It was originally fabricated by the Milwaukee Bridge and Iron Company and first crossed Duncan Creek before being moved in 1935.
• What it’s like:
  A modest but historically significant structure that feels tied to the city’s past. It’s the kind of site that appeals to visitors who enjoy engineering history and preserved landmarks.
• Good to know:
  The bridge was replaced by the current structure in 2004, but its story remains part of Chippewa Falls history. It’s a good stop for anyone exploring historic sites connected to the area’s development.
