The Dix Avenue Bridge

 As I was recovering my drone, I decided to get a picture of the bridge.

The Dix Avenue Bridge is a bascule bridge and is similar to many of the bridges in Chicago.  In fact, it was built by  the same people.  This bridge was built in 1927 by the Wisconsin Bridge and Iron Company of Milwaukee, WI.  With the demolition of the Fort Street bridge, this is the last of this type of bridge in Michigan.  I think they are going to be doing work on it soon.  I hope they don't do what they did to Fort Street.
