TONS of quality pics & information on the bridge bordering our property.






























It was built in 1906 & scores a 7 on the site's "Historic Significance Scale".

It's in much need of repair.

The site goes on to say, "It would be great to see Calhoun County step forward and restore this bridge so it continue to carry 22 1/2 Mile Road's light vehicular traffic in its attractive wooded setting."

UPDATE:
"On Tuesday, December 16, 2008 the Calhoun County Road Commission is permanently closing the bridge on 22 ½ Mile Rd over the St. Joseph River. This bridge is located between cross roads M-60 and P Drive South in Clarendon Township."
