Fanny Hooe Creek Bridge - Copper Harbor, MI - Arch Bridges on Waymarking.com

Located a short distance before the entrance to Historic Fort Wilkins outside Copper Harbor, and on the National Register of Historic Places, this bridge appears to recently have been rehabilitated while preserving its historical appearance.

From the Michigan Historic Preservation site:

"The structure is comprised of a 25 foot, filled spandrel concrete arch with an elliptically shaped continuous arch ring over a concrete foundation. The bridge's endwalls feature decoratively placed fieldstones, laid with grapevine mortar joints. Similar stonework is used for the parapet walls that flank the asphalt roadway. A series of four paneled concrete bulkheads and a concrete coping is built onto each parapet; these extend below the roadway level to form pilasters along the sidewalls. Built in 1927-1928, the Fanny Hooe Creek Bridge is unaltered and in excellent condition."
