The Tridge, Through arch bridge in Midland, US.
The three-legged wooden footbridge spans across the meeting point of Tittabawassee and Chippewa Rivers with 180-foot-long walkways extending from a central pillar.
The Michigan Area Community Foundation initiated construction of the bridge in 1981, requiring ten railroad cars of wood and an investment of 732,000 dollars.
The structure connects the downtown area to Chippewassee and St. Charles Parks, serving as a central location for community gatherings and Labor Day celebrations.
The bridge marks the beginning of the Pere Marquette Rail Trail and Chippewa Nature Trail, allowing pedestrians, cyclists, and skaters to cross between three different shores.
A 2017 renovation added programmable color-changing LED lights to illuminate the structure, which requires continuous maintenance to preserve its wooden components.
