You are correct that the old Peshekee bridge is still there but it says nothing on the MDOT web page, http://www.michigan.gov/mdot/0,1607,7-151-9620_11154_11188-30382--,00.html, abut it being the bypass bridge during the construction of the present US41/M28 bridge completed in 1995. The replaced bridge was torn down after construction was completed. The replaced bridge stood and was in use as the new bridge was being built. They stood next to each other during the construction phase and I had crossed it many times during the process. This has been confirmed with a retired Marquette County Road Commission boss. He told me of the many times the MCRC did patch work on the pre 1995 structure. I have in my younger days fished from the Trunk Line bridge many times and people still do, as I have said the bridge was not fit to carry modern traffic during the build of the present US41/M28 highway bridge. Two way traffic can not negotiate the old bridge as it is narrow. If you look down at this area with Google Earth, it is plain to see that there is an old bridge approach from both directions and there is nothing left of the pre 1995 bridge.
