Fallasburg Bridge

Fallasburg Bridge

]

Present day use

The bridge remains open to vehicular traffic. It lies within what is now known as the Fallasburg Pioneer Village or Fallasburg Historical District, established March 31 1999, and adjacent to the Fallasburg Park. It has a load limit of 3 tons (2.7 tonnes). Along with Whites Bridge and Zehnder's Holz Brucke, is one of only three Michigan covered bridges open to vehicle traffic.

:"The picturesque setting of Fallasburg Park displays Fallasburg Covered Bridge to perfection. Its rural location and quality construction contributed to its survival during a time when old covered bridges were being destroyed to make way for new road construction."
