Detroit Bridge & Iron Works was founded in 1861 in Detroit, Michigan. The company built exclusively railroad bridges, particularly large scale river crossings. This company built relatively few bridges, due to the nature of the structures it did complete. It has been known to complete 5 Mississippi River crossings (Winona, Clinton, Burlington, Quincy and Hannibal) as well as 2 Missouri River crossings (Bismarck and St. Charles). Many bridges continue to exist today.
After becoming a part of US Steel subsidiary American Bridge it continued until 1923 when it ceased operations as a result of the labor shortage in Detroit produced by the automobile boom.
