Update Log
- September 25, 2018: Added by Steve Conro
In Michigan, plaques from former bridges are commonly attached to all-new replacement bridges, so they do not always tell the truth. As for this bridge, my field visit indicated the bridge was all-new construction, with the possible reuse of the bottom/underwater portion of the piers.
