Along the Banks of the Mighty Huron River

My friend had to pick up his car in Dexter, so I took him over to get it.  Decided to go by way of Huron River Drive.  It was a nice little drive.

 The banks of the river are greening up fairly nicely.

 However, what prompted me to stop was the fact that I saw the Wolverine loading at the train station.  I was hoping that I could get this shot.

 I believe this bridge was built in 1876 by the Wrought Iron Bridge Company of Canton, Ohio. These were basically pre-assembled bridges and were brought by train.  In fact, it wasn't too far from train tracks. 

 I do love the looks of a truss bridge though.

 A straight on shot of the bridge.

And a shot of the plaque.  There aren't too many examples of this style of bridge of bridge in the world and amazingly two of them are fairly close to each other.
