Big Penny Scoreboard by Stupid Lansing
The other day, the hardworking team at Stupid Lansing alerted me to the existence of Big Penny, Lansing’s Truck-munching bridge! mLive shares that the bridge was completed in the summer of 1928 by the Grand Trunk Western Railroad, spanning Pennsylvania Avenue (thus the name Big Penny) near the Potter Park Zoo. Read on for more about the bridge & to learn about how the Stupid Lansing team gave Big Penny its new fangs & eyes!
The 12′ 0″ bridge has now snacked upon 87 semis since counting began in 2004, and 8 so far this year! Will it surpass the 29 trucks munched of 2024? Stay tuned to Stupid Lansing for updates!!
The last three pics are from the Big Penny Google Maps Listing by RJ Cormack.
