Shive-Hattery, Inc. developed concepts for conversion to a pedestrian bridge boasting guardrails, innovative lighting and interpretive signage. With assistance from an Iowa DOT State Recreational Trail grant and local matching funding fund, the project was completed in 2019. As master planning and development around Cedar Lake in the future, the Jurgensen Bridge will become a regional destination. The lighting fixtures and controls were chosen to highlight the historic and unique structural design of the bridge and to also become a destination for various local events.
