"Dead Bridge #1"
There's a unique park off of I-94, near Battle Creek, Michigan. It's the Calhoun County Historic Bridge Park.
The bridge in this picture is the "133rd Avenue Bridge", built in 1897 for $715. Originally, it crossed the Rabbit River in Hopkins Township, Allegan County. According to the park's description, this bridge is a "four-panel, half hip, pin-connected Pratt steel and wrought iron truss bridge." That's a lot of words to describe a bridge that's only 64 feet (19.5m) long!!
The 133rd Avenue Bridge is the first bridge to be restored and relocated to the bridge park. There are currently five historic bridges at the park.
