The Upper Bridge

Completed in 1908, the Upper Bridge, today known as the Currie Parkway Bridge, replaced a wooden predecessor as the main crossing over the Tittabawassee River. The Joliet Bridge and Iron Company of Illinois constructed it for $7,500 as a 140-foot-long steel Pratt through-truss bridge. In 1955, the Karl B. Robertson Bridge, built one-quarter mile to the south, succeeded it as the city's main river crossing. To preserve the bridge, the city added an independent structural arch in 1988.
