Union Railroad Bridge
Once a carrier of train traffic, the Union Railroad Bridge today provides a scenic pedestrian link over the Des Moines River from the east to the west, and back again. Painted its original color, “caboose red,” the bridge features cantilevers on each side, allowing pedestrians to stop and enjoy the view.
Completed in Summer 2006, the Union Railroad Bridge
is a unique new addition to downtown Des Moines.
