History
In 1913, the state of Michigan passed the State Trunk Line Act, which in part provided for the construction of a state route through Keweenaw, Houghton, Ontonagon and Gogebic counties.[2] Portions of this 1913 route were later included into US 41 and US 45. In the 1920s, parts of the trunkline were improved by regrading and the building of new bridges.[2] One such bridge was constructed by the Keweenaw County Road Commission, just east of Copper Harbor near the northern terminus of the trunkline. (The Keweenaw County Road Commission also built the M-26–Silver River Culvert[3] and the M-26–Cedar Creek Culvert[4] around the same time.) The original cost of the bridge was $8,132.02.[2]
Description
The bridge spanning the Fanny Hooe Creek is a small concrete arch bridge (spanning 25 feet) with an elliptically shaped continuous arch ring and filled spandrels.
