Wooddale Avenue Bridge
This COA has been withdrawn. A new COA request will be submitted when the project moves forward.
The Wooddale Avenue Bridge was constructed in 1937 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The bridge is a single span corrugated multi plate arch structure that features limestone masonry headwalls, railings and wingwalls.
Flooding has caused damage to some of the masonry walls, there is some displacement of the walls and masonry components and there is deterioration of the masonry railings. Inspection records show work is needed on the existing bridge. Engineering staff is seeking approval from the HPC to remove and replace the bridge.
The Wooddale Bridge is a designated Edina Heritage Landmark and is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
