Grosse Ile Toll Bridge, Road bridge in Wayne County, Michigan, US.

The Grosse Ile Toll Bridge spans across the Trenton Channel of the Detroit River, connecting Grosse Ile Township with the mainland city of Riverview.

Edward W. Voigt, a German immigrant and landowner, established the Grosse Ile Bridge Company in 1912 to construct the first automobile bridge to the island.

The bridge represents the transformation of Grosse Ile from a rural farming community with less than 1,000 residents into a connected suburban township.

Bridge passes require a minimum prepayment of $40 in toll fares plus a refundable $25 deposit, with current cash rates at $3.50 per crossing.

The swing bridge mechanism allows the structure to rotate horizontally, creating passages for large vessels navigating the Detroit River channel.
