The Tridge, Midland MI

You will find one of the coolest bridges ever in downtown Midland.  The three-way arch wooden foot bridge spans the confluence of the Chippewa and Tittabawasee Rivers. It opened in 1981 and its total length is 541 feet.

This couple views the bridge from an adjacent park.

At the end of one of the other spans is another park with a sculpture depicting a family heading for a swim but the woman is in a slip?

Nonetheless, the bridge is the draw and it needs to be explored and appreciated from all angles.

In 2020, when two nearby dams failed, Midland was flooded and these are photos (from the internet) of the flooding at the Tridge (you can see the couple sculpture surrounded by water).

Here are two maps for the Tridge location.

It's worth a stop!
