Notes
  • Significance: After decades of agitating by the citizens of Burlington, local businessman J.A. MacArthur formed the Citizens' Bridge Company in 1915 and erected this bridge, using an innovative financing plan. The structure was taken over by the City of Burlington in 1923 and has functioned as a toll bridge ever since. The MacArthur Bridge is historically significant as a regionally important crossing of the Mississippi River: the source of millions of dollars of revenue. It is technologically significant as the oldest cantilever truss and the oldest highway-only bridge remaining over the Mississippi.
