ioThis bridge likely did not serve as a trunkline bridge for very long. 190th Avenue is a simple dirt road that follows the grid, and as such does not look like what later trunkline roads would look like, such as nearby Northland Drive would have been the next trunk line alignment for the area that would have served until US-131 expressway was created.
This bridge is Trunk Line Bridge 61, according to its plaque. Only the oldest trunk line bridges featured such this simple sequential numbering system on the plaque. The structure is a very old 1916 example of a concrete through girder bridge in Michigan. As a two-span structure, it is also a fairly long example. The structure is today in fair condition, but it is in need of a restoration if it is to continue to be a historic landmark for the surrounding area in the coming decades.
