In terms of historic significance, these bridges should in fact be considered just as important as metal truss bridges for two reasons. One being that there are less concrete camelbacks left in the state than truss bridges. Second, concrete camelbacks were mainly only built in Michigan and only isolated examples have been found outside of Michigan, making them nationally rare. Unfortunately, this does not discourage road commissions from demolishing them. Although there is some spalling at the ends of the girders, this is an otherwise good example of a 50 foot long concrete camelback bridge. The bridge was built in 1923, making it a relatively old example of the type as well. This is the last remaining concrete camelback in Jackson County and is significant in that regard as well. The bridge was posted at a 28-30-45 ton weight limit. Narrow Bridge signage was also posted.
