The Coal Creek Bridge was located southeast of Carlisle, Iowa, United States. The 88-foot (27 m) span carried traffic on Fillmore Street over Coal Creek.[2] The Warren County Board of Supervisors contracted with the Seevers Manufacturing Company of Oskaloosa, Iowa to build this bridge. The Pratt pony truss was completed in 1889. It was the only example of this type of bridge built by the company left in Iowa.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998,[1] and has subsequently been removed.
