The Cut River Bridge

 I've been meaning to get to the Cut River at some point.  Since boat traffic was very sparse until later in the day, I decided to head over.

The Cut River Bridge is also called the Heath Michael Robinson Bridge after 2014.  It was named after a Navy SEAL that was killed in Afghanistan.
The Cut River Bridge is a steel deck cantilevered bridge.  It is one of two in Michigan.  The other one is on M55.
It was built in 1947 by W.J. Meagher and Sons.
It spans 300 feet.
It is 147 feet tall.
It looks pretty cool.
I'll have to get over here in the fall, I would imagine it would look really cool then.
