American Legion Memorial Bridge
American Legion Memorial Bridge, Concrete arch bridge in Traverse City, United States.
The American Legion Memorial Bridge spans the Boardman River with a barrel-vaulted elliptical arch design connecting South Cass Street in Traverse City, Michigan.
Engineer Daniel B. Luten designed this reinforced concrete structure in 1929, and construction firms Aldrich & Cook and Jerome Wilhelm completed it in 1930.
The bridge received its name from the American Legion organization, with dedication plaques installed during construction to mark their involvement in its establishment.
The structure measures 68 feet in length and 58.5 feet in width, featuring concrete parapets and balustrades with decorative urn-shaped spindles along its approaches.
The 2021 renovation project replaced the original structure while preserving historical elements and adding new decorative pedestrian railings to enhance safety features.
