Wayne County Bridge, Railway bridge in Grosse Ile Township, United States.
The Wayne County Bridge extends across the Trenton Channel of the Detroit River with a swing mechanism that allows water traffic passage.
The Canada Southern Bridge Company constructed the initial railway structure in 1873, which underwent transformation into the current bridge in 1931.
The bridge serves as a primary transportation link for Grosse Ile Township residents, handling 75 percent of vehicle traffic to and from the island.
Regular structural inspections and maintenance work ensure the bridge meets safety standards, with recent repairs focusing on deck replacement and foundation improvements.
The support piers from the original nineteenth-century rail bridge remain integrated within the current structure, connecting Grosse Ile to mainland Trenton.
