A Des Moines icon is nearing its end. Grand Avenue’s historic, arched bridge over the Des Moines River will be replaced within two years. City leaders are now trying to determine what the new bridge will look like. During a meeting last night, they asked for public feedback on four potential plans; a $6 million barebones design, more aesthetic plans ranging from seven to nine million, and a pie-in-the-sky proposal which replicates the true handmade arches of the original bridge. It would cost somewhere north of $40 million.
