The Tridge, Through arch bridge in Midland, US.
The Tridge is a three-legged pedestrian bridge spanning the meeting point of the Tittabawassee and Chippewa Rivers in Midland. The structure features long wooden walkways extending from a central support, connecting three separate shores.
Construction began in the early 1980s when the Michigan Area Community Foundation took on the project to connect the riverbanks. The wooden structure became an important part of Midland's recreational infrastructure.
The bridge links downtown with nearby parks and serves as a meeting point for locals throughout the year. It hosts seasonal celebrations and brings together people from different neighborhoods.
The bridge welcomes pedestrians, cyclists, and skaters throughout the year and connects two major trail systems in the area. Visit during daylight hours to safely cross and enjoy views from all three directions.
The structure received programmable color-changing LED lights in 2017 that transform its appearance after dark. This modern lighting system creates a striking contrast with the traditional wooden architecture.
