Design: truss/through/pratt
Design Details: "The structure is a riveted steel pony truss bridge with longitudinal steel stringers and transverse wood plank deck. A walkway was attached to the north side of the bridge but was removed in 1988.
"Vehicular and pedestrian bridge to be replaced by a new bridge. The entire bridge will be moved to Chassell Township, Chassell, Michigan to be used as a pedestrian bridge across the Pike River within Section 5 of Township 53 North and Range 33 West, approximately 1.5 miles south of Chassell and on US-41. The bridge will be moved in the spring of 1997.
"The Michigan State Historic Prservation Officer has determined that this bridge is an unusual riveted Pratt Pony Truss structure. It is all the more unusual because of its attached pedestrian walkway."
