This large through truss bridge crosses over the former Chicago & North Western route near Siemens, Michigan.
Built in 1896, this Baltimore Through Truss span features an interesting design. It features a very untraditional modification of the Baltimore design and was an early example of riveted connections.
It appears that many of the area structures were unusual designs built in 1896 by the Wisconsin Bridge & Iron Company.
This single span bridge rests on stone abutments. It has since been converted to an ATV trail.
Overall, this unique bridge remains in good condition.
The author ranks this bridge as being regionally significant, due to the early example of a riveted truss and the uncommon configuration.
The photo above is an overview. The bridge can be accessed from the trail it carries.
