McKeown Road Bridge
In Barry County (Michigan) on the Thornapple, southeast of Hastings and about a mile downstream from Charlton Park. I was standing on this bridge when I took the barn photo I posted earlier today.
This 1903 bridge was originally known as the Sponable Bridge and took the McKeown name in the 1930s. Both names commemorate the same farm--the farm whose barn I photographed. The state's description of the bridge attributes the name change to the rural electric companies standardizing road names in the 1930s, which is probably more interesting than the name itself.
The bridge now lives in a little park, with its 1997 replacement crossing the Thornapple just downstream from the old bridge. There's quite a bit more information on the Historic Bridges website; worth a look.
