Waltz Road--Huron River Bridge - New Boston, MI - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Waltz Road passes over the Huron River just south of the small community of New Boston, near the southwest corner of Wayne County. The Huron River is edged by woods. The land to the south is marshy. The Waltz Road Bridge is skewed, with the centerline oriented north-south. The bridge consists of two identical steel, 100-foot, 7-panel, camelback Pratt pony truss spans with a 27-foot roadway on a 29.7-foot-deck. The trusses are comprised of the following members: upper chord: built-up channel beam tied with X-lacing; lower chord: channel; verticals:built-up I-beam; diagonals: paired angles tied with V-lacing; floor beam: built-up I-beam; bottom lateral: paired angles. Sidewalks supported by metal brackets are attached outside of the truss on each side. Railings are angles with bar spindles; solid concrete parapets edge the approaches. The substructure features concrete abutments with U-shaped wing walls and solid concrete piers with rounded cutwaters. - NRHP submission
