The following are pictures of the Benton Harbor Ship canal which show the old railroad tracks and RXR bridge running parallel to the ship canal (lower left). The second picture is the same crossing after the RXR bridge and tracks were taken away. The third picture shows the new bridge footings on both sides of the river. The last two pictures are the new pedestrian bridge being placed across the Paw Paw River as it enters the ship canal. The bridge now provides a walking path across the river to Harbor Shores & the Marina. Harbor Shores Community Redevelopment has stated it will maintain it at no cost to either St. Joseph or Benton Harbor. It was noted that the Michigan Strategic Fund Board approved a $1.2 million grant for the project.
