The Hale Bridge in its original location over the
Wapsipinicon River near Hale, Iowa. The bridge was moved by Jones County in 2005
to a new location in Wapsipinicon State Park near Anamosa, where it stands
today. Wapsi Valley Archaeology completed the cultural resources compliance
services for this project.

- Our
work complies with State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) requirements. Our
Principal
Investigators meet and exceed the
Secretary of Interior's Professional Qualification Standards.
- Our
pricing is competitive because we do not have the high overhead costs of some
“not-for-profit”
university offices and giant
engineering firms.
-
We are knowledgeable of the relevant laws, regulations, and procedures required
for Section 106
review.
