Bridge L7075

Bridge L7075 is a historic arch bridge in Hartford Township, Minnesota, United States. It was initially built around 1940 by the Works Progress Administration with a modular corrugated iron product called Multi Plate for the arches and a masonry façade. The bridge was expanded with a third arch around 1942.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Bridge No. L7075 in 2016 for having local significance in the theme of engineering. It was nominated for being a distinctive example of the era's Multi Plate arch bridges and for the fine workmanship embodied in its National Park Service rustic architecture with Neoclassical detailing.[2]
