Ada Covered Bridge, Ada, MI

This one is a 125ft span Brown truss-covered bridge erected in 1867 in Ada, Michigan, United States. Carrying Bronson Street across the Thornapple River, it is located just south of where the Thornapple enters the Grand River, in turn just south of M-21.

It also appears on the National Register of Historic Places. Walking across this bridge is like going back through time.

The classic bridge was built to cross the Thornapple River, and due to the Thornapple’s propensity for flooding, farmers used to leave wagons full of stones on the bridge during high waters to hold it to the foundation.
