Description
Covered Bridge in Sight
Steaming on the Bavarian Belle on the Cass River Frankenmuth Michigan.
Frankenmuth's Wooden Covered Bridge
A 239 foot, 230 ton covered bridge made completely of wood which spans the Cass River in Frankenmuth and joins the Bavarian Inn Lodge and the festival grounds, parking to Main Street. Frankenmuth Holz Brucke (wooden bridge) is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship which is open year round for autos or pedestrians.
Zehnder's Holz Brucke (German for wooden bridge) looks as though it could have been plucked up from the Black Forest or a river valley in Switzerland and planted astride the Cass River in the middle of town.
Though this bridge is a modern construction built in 1979, the architects of Graton and Associates remained faithful to traditional covered bridge timber framing techniques, utilizing a 3 span Town lattice truss system of Douglas fir. This sturdy 239' bridge accomodates automobiles and pedestrians numbering in the hundreds of thousands every year.
