The West Montrose covered bridge, locally known as
the Kissing bridge, was build in 1881, and most likely replaced
an older bridge over the Grand River. The roof was added to
protect the entirely wooden frame from deterioration by rough
weather. The bridge is still functional today, and though on
the inside it is a mixture of concrete, steel, wood and asphalt,
it lost nothing of its old west look and rural charm.
