CHAMPION, MI-- The Department of Natural Resources has reopened a bridge on a snowmobile route in Marquette County.
The bridge on Trail #8 was closed in mid-December after officials discovered a major support beam was cracked. The bridge is northwest of Champion along the former Clowry Railroad Grade.
Trail #8 is the main east-west snowmobile connector route in the Upper Peninsula. DNR staffers and the Moose Country Snowmobile Club worked to coordinate the bridge repairs.
