Veterans Memorial Bridge, Bascule bridge in Bay City, Michigan, United States.
The Veterans Memorial Bridge stretches 916 feet across the Saginaw River with two movable spans that lift to let boats pass underneath.
The American Bridge Company completed this structure in 1957, making it Bay City's first four-lane bridge and connecting it with the opening of the Mackinac Bridge.
The bridge surface transforms into a launching platform for over 5,000 fireworks during the annual Bay City Fireworks Festival in July.
The metal variable depth deck girder structure carries State Highway M-25 and Business Spur I-75 without any toll charges for vehicles.
The bridge features curved plate girders in its bascule span design, representing mid-20th century engineering methods used across Michigan.
