Formerly spanning the Rabbit River in Hopkins Township, Allegan County, Michigan, the 133rd Avenue Bridge was built in 1897 by the Michigan Bridge Company of Portland, Michigan, owned by Samuel S. Ramsey and his son. A small bridge only 64 feet long, it carried farm residents over the river on its single span for 96 years. The road it served was built between 1873 and 1895 to carry farm traffic to and from connecting roads, rural schools and churches, markets in nearby small towns such as Hopkins and Hilliards, and the L.S.M.S. Railroad depot at Hopkins Station. Because the river was shallow at the crossing, travelers may have forded it in the early years, but growing demand for good roads year round and the use of heavy steam-powered harvesting equipment increased the need for a strong bridge. After high water in January 1897 washed out the small bridge at that location, the Hopkins Township Board contracted the Michigan Bridge Company in the spring of 1897 to manufacture the replacement for $715.00. Technically, it was a four-panel, half-hip, pin-connected Pratt steel and wrought iron truss bridge, 64 feet long and 14 feet wide. In 1993 it was judged unable to support vehicular traffic and was closed while the county scheduled it for replacement. Removed from Allegan County in 1998 to the Calhoun County Road Commission Bridge Restoration Shop, it was repaired, cleaned, and repainted, then re-erected in the Calhoun County Historic Bridge Park in 1999 to serve as a pedestrian bridge, the first bridge placed in the park.
