A Bridge Worth Saving: A Community Guide to Historic Bridge Preservation by Mike Mort

“A Bridge Worth Saving is a call to action. Everything about this book –its structure, its content, its style- shouts “Save that old bridge!”
(Michigan State University Press, 2008)

Lessons learned from the restoration of the first three historic metal truss bridges at the Calhoun County Historic Bridge Park are featured in this book. Two more historic bridges were added to the park later, the Bauer Road Bridge and the Charlotte Highway Bridge.

Your purchase of A Bridge Worth Saving will contribute to the maintenance and preservation of the Calhoun County Historic Bridge Park.
