Carries Bellevue Avenue over Lake Orion Canal
Design: arch/deck/closed
Design Details: "The Belleview Road Bridge is an earth-filled reinforced concrete arch bridge, consisting of a single arch span and reinforced concrete abutments.
"The Bellevue Road Bridge was completed at the time that Bellevue Island changed from a vacation community of seasonal cottages to a year-round settlement, reflecting the decline of Lake Orion as a resort area. The design of this bridge, with its massive concrete railings, reflects an attempt to produce an aesthetically-pleasing structure."

Carries Grand River Avenue over CSX Railroad (Former Chesapeake & Ohio, Former Pere Marquette)
Design: other
Design Details: "This is the sixth longest concrete "camelback" girder bridge left in Michigan. It created a grade separation for Grand River Avenue, which at the time of construction was part of US Route 16 linking Detroit with Grand Haven, Michigan, on Lake Michigan.
"The [bridge] is a three span reinforced concrete "camelback" girder structure restong on four piers. The bridge proper measures 146 feet 9 inches long and 48 feet wide overall.
"This documentation is a result of a Memorandum of Agreement between the Oakland County Road Commission, the Michigan State Historic Preservation Officer, and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation as a mitigative measure prior to the demolition of the bridge."
