    When will the construction be done ?

    I was excited to see this bridge and explore. But when we came last September 2017 US 2 was closed due to construction on the bridge. So.. this year September 2018. The bridge is still closed due to construction. When will this be open?

    Closed until Nov '17

    We were going to stop on our way through but were detoured around the bridge/gorge. A local told us it'll be closed until Nov, and if you wanted to walk a mile you could get to it. Disappointed, but the road work needs to be...More

    What a Surprise!

    There are several roadside parks next to this bridge. Both sides of the street on the east end of this bridge provide access to a stairway that takes you 250+ steps down to the cut river and to the shore of Lake Michigan. It is...More

    You could easily just drive over and not notice the view. You can walk out on the bridge itself for a great view as well as take a trail under the bridge and down to the river (beware that is is about 150 feet down...More

    All the reviews are right, worth the stop

    Spend 30 minutes here to stretch your legs and check out this bridge and the roaring stream in the valley below. The stair case is very safe, although be forewarned it is equivalent to 15 stories (~149' down, but also back up). So those with...More

    Big bridge - big hike - big view

    Stopping to see a bridge sounds strange, but this is worth the time. Both for the bridge structure itself and the surrounding trees etc. We were heading to the UP and stopped by the park after crossing the bridge. We walked back across the bridge,...More
