This photo is one of a series of cyanotypes of the Cut River Bridge and other subjects. You have to go see it because there's a VanDyke in there of the understructure that is amazing.
The bridge is located on US-2 and if you have a few extra minutes, be sure to stop and check out the stairs or trail to explore a little. It's really an amazing structure.

According to this letterboxing site:

Cut River Bridge is located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula along US-2 between the towns of Epoufette and Brevort. It's about 25 miles northwest of St. Ignace and the Straits of Mackinac.

The locals call Cut River Bridge "the million dollar bridge over a two-bit creek." Cut River Bridge is a cantilevered steel deck bridge, built in 1946. It spans the tiny Cut River, a surprising 147 feet below. From either end of the bridge, you can descend a short ways and view the immense steel structure that supports the road.

  1. As an added bonus, after you explore the bridge, you can treat yourself to fried perch and an apple dumpling at the Cut River Inn in nearby Epoufette – a true Michigan meal.
