Marantette Bridge, Road bridge in Mendon Township, US.
The Marantette Bridge extends 141 feet in length and 16 feet in width, featuring a Pratt through truss design with eight panels and pinned connections.
Constructed around 1900 by the Massillon Bridge Company, this bridge replaced an earlier structure from 1873 and served vehicular traffic until its closure in 1984.
The bridge represents early 20th-century engineering methods and stands as evidence of transportation development in rural Michigan communities during that period.
Located at coordinates 41.998889, -85.458333, the bridge crosses the St. Joseph River and contains steel stringers supporting a wooden plank deck atop rubble fieldstone abutments.
The bridge earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001, demonstrating the preservation of transportation infrastructure from Michigan's industrial development era.
