The South Union Street–Boardman River Bridge is a bridge located on South Union Street over the Boardman River in Traverse City, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1]

Description

The South Union Street–Boardman River Bridge is {{convert|75|ft}} and {{convert|40|ft}} wide with a {{convert|73|ft|m|adj=on}} span over the Boardman River.[2] A park with footpath runs underneath the bridge, and a dam and the attractive American Legion Memorial Bridge can be seen on each side of the bridge. Stairs lead down along the bridge to the river park beneath.[2] The bridge is lined with a concrete balustrade railing with square spindles, and concrete parapets are at each end.[2]

History

In 1929, Traverse City undertook planning to replace the dangerous bridges crossing the Boardman River at Cass and Union Streets.[2] However, the state of Michigan took responsibility for the Union Street Bridge, which then carried US 31.[2] The state surveyed the existing bridge in late 1929, and sent plans for a new structure to the city in July 1930.[2] Bids for the bridge were solicited, and in early 1931 Jackson contractor L. W. Lamb won the contract for $66,482.[2] Additional expenditures brought the total price to almost $78,000.[2] The bridge was completed in 1931, and was praised as an aesthetic success, fitting into its park surroundings and making an attractive gateway for the region's tourists.[2]
