Notes
  • Significance: The Range Line Road Bridge is a single span Warren truss consisting almost entirely of riveted angles. A distinctive feature is the continuous top chord that extends to the shoe, eliminating the need for a hip joint and separate endpost. In 1908, Ackley township supervisors in Langlade County agreed to raise funds to remove several decaying wooden bridges and replace them with steel structures. The following August, the Wisconsin Bridge and Iron Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, erected the Range Line Road Bridge over the West Channel of the Eau Claire River. J.C. Hall, a local resident, constructed the approach. The Wisconsin Bridge and Iron Company, incorporated in 1891, erected bridges throughout Wisconsin and the Midwest. It is one of the few bridge building firms to use the continuous top chord design.
