The Main Street Bridge is a Pratt Pony truss bridge that crosses the Eagle River in Eagle River, Michigan.

The bridge was built in 1909 by the Joliet Bridge and Iron Company of Joliet, Illinois.

Due to the bridge's severe disrepair, it has been closed to traffic since 1999, but remains accessible to pedestrians. As of a 2006 inspection, it was rated as structurally deficient and the substructure was rated as "serious".

Renovations to the bridge began in 2008 along with an annual festival (the held in summer to raise funds. The bearings at the four corners of the bridge were replaced in 2008 and, following the first festival, a permanent rolling scaffold was added to facilitate future repairs. In 2011, the walking surface of the bridge was patched.{{cite news|title=Eagle River Main Street Bridge Festival coming Friday|newspaper=The Daily Mining Gazette|date=August 7, 2012}}
