The Highland Avenue bridge is a bridge that carries Highland Drive over Cedar Creek and the Columbia Mill dam and millrace in Cedarburg Wisconsin.[2] Originally the bridge was a steel truss bridge[3] that was replaced in 1939 as a PWA project for the City of Cedarburg. The concrete archbridge is clad in a limestone veneer (dolomite locally known as Lannon stone). It was designed by local engineer Charles Whitney who also designed the dam at the Hilgen and Wittenburg Woolen Mill upstream of the bridge[4] and the Lakeside Park Bridge in Fond du Lac.[5]
