Whites Bridge

Whites Bridge

]

Present day use

The bridge was briefly closed in 1995 to allow for repair of the abutments. It was subsequently reopened to automobile traffic. The bridge is still in use, although it has a load limit of 3 tons (2.7 tonnes) in effect. Although the Ada Covered Bridge may have been built earlier, it was completely replaced due to a fire, and this bridge is arguably the oldest covered bridge still using parts of the original structure in Michigan.
