Plans for Arrowhead Bridge emerge in 1925
One hundred years ago plans were emerging to build what would later be called the Arrowhead Bridge, which spanned the St. Louis River from Grassy Point in West Duluth to Billings Park in Superior. Construction of the bridge was completed in 1927. It was dismantled in 1985 after the opening of the Richard I. Bong Memorial Bridge.
The Duluth Herald reported on the bridge plans on the front page of its Jan. 28, 1925 edition. At the time the plans called for a “lift bridge” similar in style to the Aerial Bridge, which at the time was not yet a lift bridge.
