The Read Township Culvert is a historic structure located southeast of Elkader, Iowa, United States. It spans an unnamed stream for 14 feet (4.3 m).[2] Clayton County built a number of bridges over rivers, streams and ditches around the turn of the 20th-century. They contracted with local contractors Stoops and Williamson to build this single stone arch culvert of native limestone for $814.25. The culvert was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
