The Eagle Point Bridge was the automobile bridge that connected Dubuque, Iowa and Grant County, Wisconsin. It was part of the US 61/151 route, and was a toll bridge. After the new Dubuque-Wisconsin Bridge was built in 1983, the Eagle Point Bridge was torn down.
The bridge was located near the Lock & Dam #11, at the northern edge of Rhomberg Ave. in Dubuque. It was about one mile north of the present bridge. The bridge was still structually sound after the new bridge was built, leading some to ask the bridge be kept open as a pedestrian or special use bridge, but the state still tore the bridge down.

Several years after the demolition of the bridge, a restaurant known as the Tollbridge Inn was constructed at what was the Iowa end of the bridge.
