The Cut River Bridge is about 25 miles northwest of St. Ignace as you head on West US-2. It one of two cantilevered bridges in Michigan and was built in 1947. It's been shutdown the past couple years, so I didn't have a chance to see it. I couldn't get as many pictures of it as I wanted as the park was closed and the stairs around it were pretty treacherous.
The bridge is 147 feet tall and 641 feet long. This bridge design is more common out east.

Looking under the bridge. I would imagine the truss calculations for this bridge would be fun.
