[2] Today, drivers cannot use the Peshekee River Bridge south of US 41/M-28 in western Marquette County's Michigamme Township, although access can be had on foot from the eastern side.

The bridge was built in 1914 in response to the 1913 State Trunk Line Act passed by the Michigan Legislature.

The act further said that the Michigan State Highway Department would design, build and maintain trunkline bridges spanning 30 feet (9 m) or more so long as the local governments improved an adjacent three miles (4.8 km) of roads.

The bridge was designed by C.V. Dewart for the department and built by the local firm of Powell and Mitchell in Marquette.

The second crossing was bypassed and demolished during the construction of the current highway bridge over the Peshekee River on US 41/M-28 in late 1995.
