While having served the communities well for nearly a century, the new bridge will offer wider lanes, space for cyclists and pedestrians, and a lower-level fishing area.

Aesthetically, it will be quite similar to the new bridge at the Mill on M-22 (by County Road 675).

Structurally, it will be a heftier bridge, due to longer spans. Because of the extensive shoring up of the land on each side, the construction is scheduled to last until Labor Day (in time for the Bridge Walk?).

Local residents are hopeful that good weather will speed up the finish.
