National Register
The Hammond Covered Bridge, also called the Hammond Bridge, stands west of Hamilton in Marion County, Iowa, spanning North Cedar Creek. It was built in 1894 by S.F. Collins using a Howe through truss after landowner Samuel B. Hammond petitioned the county for a crossing. A 1977 truck accident closed the bridge for two years before it reopened in 1979, and a newer span now carries vehicle traffic nearby. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 and remains owned by Marion County.
