Building of Michigan Avenue Bridge, Howell, Michigan, 1902

Description

This photograph was taken in 1902 and depicts the digging of the footings in preparation for a new bridge to cross the Ann Arbor Railroad Tunnel at East Street (Division Street, Michigan Avenue).

As noted in the December 17th, 1902 edition of the Livingston Republican, "The abutements for the new steel bridge over the tunnel near the Baptist Church are being placed.  The work grading down the sides of the tunnel continues".  

The new steel bridge was constructed elsewhere and brought to the site to be completed.
