For the last few years, the Free Press has been tracking Michigan bridge conditions and funding. Here’s what bridges look like near you.

A bridge listed in poor condition does not necessarily mean it is unsafe. But it does mean the bridge needs attention. This year, the state transportation department is set to begin a pilot program to repair, replace or remove some locally owned bridges.
