Bridge Documentation

View Archived National Bridge Inventory Report - Has Additional Details and Evaluation

This bridge and the adjacent railroad bridge were built in 1948 as part of the creation of Broadmoor Avenue, a direct route for M-37 from 28th St & East Beltline Ave to Caledonia (about 8 miles SSE). They are the result of local topography, as all the other roads (and a few rail spurs since removed) crossed it at grade. Broadmoor Avenue has since been widened to 5 or more lanes to the north, and the highway has a divided section to the south. However, the bridge piers only have space for 4 lanes between (and not much else). Because there is a wide 29th St. to handle local overflow from 28th St. (M-11), 32nd St. is less busy, but even its 3 lanes are squeezed to 2 over the bridge (with no sidewalks). The bridge has an unusual design of concrete railing that is dissimilar to any standard designs found throughout Michigan.
