ALGER COUNTY, MI-- A bridge connecting snowmobile and off-road vehicle trails in Alger County is complete.
The 130-foot Doty Bridge crosses the north branch of Stutts Creek on the Coalwood Grade. The grade is known as a major destination point, experiencing up to 2,000 visitors on a typical winter weekend. It replaces a temporary bridge in place since 2000 over a former railroad trestle.
The completion of the $1 million bridge marks the largest project that the Hiawatha National Forest and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources have worked on together.
