This is a single span concrete arch bridge. It is noted for its unusual railing design. In addition, with a 1910 construction date, it is a one of the oldest remaining examples of reinforced concrete arch bridge technology in Michigan. The bridge appears to have once had lampposts, but these are long gone. It is in an attractive spot near a river walk, but was difficult to photo with the leaves on the trees. A winter visit offers a better view of the bridge.
