This bridge survived a brutal attack of water and debris caused by the breaking of dams on Dead River during the spring of 2003. With a much lower clearance than its ugly replacement, the water pounded into this bridge, testing its strength. The bridge came out hardly scratched. The ground around the bridge was washed out completely. This is a curved-chord though girder bridge, aka concrete camelback, with unique end posts that have not been found on any other concrete camelback in Michigan. It does not have any plaques, but would likely date to the 1920s.
Marquette City Engineering reported that the bridge's approaches were rebuilt after the flood, and that the bridge has been being used by non-motorized traffic since. This bridge is a survivor in more ways than one!
