Second Street Bridge
Second Street Bridge, Historic truss bridge in Allegan, United States.
The Second Street Bridge spans 225 feet across the Kalamazoo River with a width of 18 feet and incorporates granite fieldstone abutments and metal handrails.
The King Iron Bridge Company constructed this Whipple truss bridge in 1886 at a cost of $7,532.25 to replace an unsafe wooden structure.
The bridge earned recognition through multiple designations, including the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and Michigan State Historic Site in 1982.
Traffic lights control the flow of vehicles on this one-lane bridge, which underwent major rehabilitation work in the early 1980s to preserve its structure.
Since 1995, the Second Street Bridge has become part of the official logo of Allegan, representing the connection between past and present engineering.
