Description
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.
History
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.
Culture
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.
Practical
