Survey For Sutliff Bridge

Sutliff Bridge and Baxa’s Sutliff Store holds many wonderful memories for a great deal of Iowa natives.  I’m not even “from” Iowa, as I only moved here 12 years ago, but I still have my own special experiences at Sutliff.  Many which include a cold beverage, some good fried food, and a picnic table out on the bridge.  I just noticed a smile form across my lips as I typed that. There is just something magical about that place.

Back in June 2008, when the flood waters came roaring through the eastern part of the state … they took Sutliff Bridge with.  It was a devastating time for many, as no one knew what would happen to this historical place that so many held dear to their hearts.

Recently, a survey was sent my way, asking my opinion on if and how Sutliff Bridge should be repaired.  I voted for Option 1, replacing the span of the bridge that was lost with one that is similar in appearance.  It would be awesome to sit out on that bridge again with a cold one.

If you would like to have your say … please go voice your opinion.  It takes literally 2 seconds and no personal information HAS to be given.

Keep Sutliff alive.  It’s such an important part of Eastern Iowa.
