About Us

Background

Bay City Bridge Partners is a local subsidiary of Denver-based United Bridge Partners, an organization created in 2010 to address the country’s infrastructure crisis with private financing solutions.

Because there is insufficient local, state or federal funds to fix Bay City’s Liberty and Independence bridges, Bay City Bridge Partners (BCBP) has entered into an acquisition and development agreement with the City of Bay City, MI for the rehabilitation and modernization of Liberty Bridge and replacement of Independence Bridge that pass over the Saginaw River. As part of the agreement, BCBP will also assume financial responsibility for operations and maintenance of the both bridges immediately.
