Carries Bridge Street over Grand River
Design: arch/deck/closed
Design Details: "The Bridge Street Bridge is a rare example of a reinforced concrete arch, earth-filled bridge, and one of great size, measuring 468 feet long overall. This bridge is the second largest known surviving example of this design in Michigan. This was one of the earliest large reinforced concrete arch, earth-filled bridges built in the United States and received considerable attention in the national engineering literature. It was listed as eligible for the National Register of Historic Places in April, 1986.
"This historic documentation was undertaken in December 1987 in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement by the City of Grand Rapids, Fedral Highway Administration, State Historic Preservation Office and Michigan Department of Transportation as a mitigative measure prior to the demolition replacement of the bridge in early 1988."

Design Details: "The bridge is a good example of open spandrel type arch construction, as described in engineering textbooks published during the first quarter of the twentieth century. This type of bridge construction is labor-intensive, and this design would not be considered cost effective or competitive in today's market place. The bridge setting is prominent and highly visible from adjacent commercial, public and park areas."
