New Map Shows Condition Of Pedestrian Bridges Across Michigan

MICHIGAN — State officials shared a website that allows people to inspect pedestrian bridges across the state.

The Michigan Department of Transportation shared the interactive map, which shows the year the bridge was built, its size, condition and when the bridge was last inspected by officials. The bridges were graded from 0-9, with nine receiving a "good condition."

Another website, called One page, specifically allows people to inspect data on more than 70 Detroit-area pedestrian bridges over state freeways.

The news comes after a Detroit Tigers fan plummeted 15 feet through a 70-year-old pedestrian bridge in Detroit, landing near oncoming traffic.

State officials also recently closed another pedestrian bridge in Detroit near Wayne State University for emergency repairs.
