Sebewaing Park Pedestrian Bridge

Spicer Group assisted Huron County by designing improvements to a 32-acre park located at the mouth of the Sebewaing River at Lake Huron. The original state of this popular park had made access to fishing opportunities difficult due to the steep and overgrown banks and no access to the island area of the park.

The new design included a pre-fabricated bridge to traverse over the waterway, giving access to the island, as well as three new universally-accessible fishing platforms, bank stabilization and recreation pathways that now help visitors easily traverse the steep grade of the banks to the river.

A new universally-accessible 105-foot-long pedestrian bridge was installed across a waterway called Ensminger Cut to allow access to a nature path on the island which provides excellent fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities. The pre-engineered steel-frame bridge is 8-feet wide, with steel railings that are four-and-a-half feet tall. The bridge connects to the stone pedestrian pathway by concrete abutments.

Spicer Group assisted Huron County with the grant writing, survey, design, and construction administration for the project. The park now boasts great fishing access and access to the island.
