Chestnut Street Bridge, Historic road bridge in Detroit, United States.

The Chestnut Street Bridge contains two steel-stringer spans measuring 31 feet each, supported by concrete abutments and a concrete-post pier in Detroit.

During the industrial expansion of Detroit in the 1920s, engineers constructed this bridge to separate street traffic from railway lines, completing it in 1930.

The bridge structure represents Detroit's transformation from a railroad-focused city into an automotive center, marking a shift in transportation methods.

Located at coordinates 42.344722 and -83.034167, the bridge spans 50.3 feet in width and includes a 30-foot wide asphalt roadway for vehicle passage.

The structure maintains its original concrete parapet railings with recessed panels, earning recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

Location: Detroit

GPS coordinates: 42.34472,-83.03417
