You will never again be able to drive the simple but charming Inkster Avenue bridge over Bronson Boulevard in Kalamazoo s Westenedge Hill neighborhood. The bridge is closing permanently to vehicle traffic on Monday, May 3.
The announcement came from the city s Department of Public Works stating that the wooden structure has become too unstable over the years to support cars and trucks.

The city is pursuing funding for a replacement.
