The Independence Bridge is a bascule-type drawbridge located in Bay City, Michigan. It carries Truman Parkway over the Saginaw River and was opened in 1976 to replace the earlier Belinda Street Bridge (built in 1893)[1][2] Starting January 1, 2025, an electronic toll is charged to motorists either through their BC-Pass,[3] E-ZPass transponder, or via license plate photo.[4][5]
