Cheboygan Bascule Bridge
Cheboygan Bascule Bridge, Bascule bridge in Cheboygan, United States.
The Cheboygan Bascule Bridge features three steel deck girder spans, with a central lifting section measuring 70 feet across the Cheboygan River.
Built in 1940 to replace an 1877 swing bridge, this structure represents the final bascule bridge constructed in Michigan before World War II.
The bridge earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 for its engineering design and role in local transportation development.
Traffic gates and warning lights alert drivers and pedestrians when the bridge lifts to allow marine vessels passage through the Cheboygan River.
The bridge construction required specialized engineering solutions to accommodate both vehicular traffic on US Highway 23 and maritime navigation requirements.
