Main Street Bridge Before Reconstruction, 1999

The Main Strret bridge over the east branch of the Grand River was reconstructed during the summer of 1999. Before the earlier bridge was demolished, Gary Shruck took these photos to commemorate one of the favorite playgrounds of generations of Fairwater children.
