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.
