The Michigan Department of Natural Resources received a $1.652 million project grant from the Department of the Interior National Park Service under the Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning program to renovate the Berglund to Sidnaw Trail Agate Falls Bridge crossing the Middle Branch of the Ontonagon River. Work will include replacing the bridge decking and railings, fortifying the seven stone piers and abutments with new stones and mortar, cleaning and sealing the steel substructure, and replacing some steel members and joints. Additionally, the boardwalk extending under the bridge will be repaired and sealed. The project aims to improve safety and accessibility of local trails for hiking, biking and snowmobiling through 2025, benefiting both outdoor recreation and local businesses in the region supported by trail activities.
