- The former bridge at Jefferson Avenue was a narrow swing bridge that needed to be replaced by around 1910. However, construction did not begin on the new bridge until 1920 and a detour for Jefferson Avenue was needed. The detour was created up stream with an old truss bridge from the Michigan Central Railroad, and was floated into place. Construction then began on a single trunnion, double-leaf bascule bridge that opened in 1922.
