Three steel truss bridges sit side by side over the River Raisin in this vintage view labeled “The Three Old Bridges, Blissfield, Mich.”
Blissfield was known for its “triple bridges” — separate crossings built for different kinds of traffic as the town grew. One well-documented survivor is the railroad bridge over the River Raisin, credited to the American Bridge Co. and dated to 1907. A historic postcard on that same site notes the three-bridge setup (highway, interurban, railroad), though the “only triple bridge in the world” line shows up as a period claim, not a proven fact.
Do you remember when Blissfield still had multiple bridges clustered here — or know exactly where this photo was taken?
