Bridges By County: Michigan - Calhoun County
Below is a list of all the available bridges for this
county. By default, bridges are listed in alphabetical order by name. You may
sort the bridge list however you like by clicking on the button for the column
you wish to sort by. Mozilla and Netscape Users may have trouble sorting the
table. If you are looking for a particular bridge you may search for it by using
your browser's built in "Find" command. In Internet Explorer, you would go to
the "Edit" menu and select "Find." I also recommend running 1024x768 resolution,
due to the width of the table. Note on bridge types: The category "type" in the
table is a very general category, and refers to the type of bridge in an
aesthetic and visual sense, NOT in the technical sense. The technical structural
type is discussed within the page for the bridge.
