The Liberty Bridge as seen from the Third Street Pier.
The Liberty Bridge is a drawbridge located in Bay City, Michigan. It spans the Saginaw River and connects Vermont Street (on the west side of the river) and Woodside Avenue (on the east side).
The Liberty Bridge was built to replace the Third Street Bridge, a small swing bridge dating from 1890 that was located just south of the current Liberty Bridge. The Third Street Bridge's swing span had collapsed in 1976 due to old age. Fortunately, the swing span was open to allow a ship to pass through when it collapsed, so there was no traffic on it. There is now a small park located at the former site of the Third Street Bridge on the east side.
