History and significance
The Zumbro Parkway Bridge is an unaltered, stone-faced, double-arch, multi-plate bridge built by the Works Progress Administration in 1937. It carries County Road 68 over a tributary of the Zumbro River immediately south of Zumbro Falls in a rural area of Wabasha County. The corrugated-metal arch is comprised of bolted segments, anchored in place by concrete abutment and pier walls. The interior of the arch features a stamp reading “Multi Plate.” The Zumbro Parkway Bridge is significant as a good example of a multi-plate arch bridge.
