This 152' (46m) long bridge has a main span of 79' (24m).

Joe Fishbein posted two photos with the comment: "Eagle River, Michigan, in the Keweenaw peninsula, has two interesting bridges over its namesake river. The deck truss dates to 1915, and originally carried highway M-26 (I drove over it many times when I was in school up here). In 1990, a timber 3- hinged deck arch was built for the highway,  and the old bridge was rehabbed for pedestrians. Two cool bridges over a very scenic river. My photos from today."
Andreas Jordahl Rhude: The southern pine structural glued laminated timber was manufactured by the former Sentinel Structures Inc at Peshtigo Wisconsin.
Pete Wessel: There’s also an old pony truss just downstream.
