The M-26–Silver River Culvert is a highway bridge located on M-26 over the Silver River in Eagle Harbor Township, Michigan. The Keweenaw County Road Commission built the bridge in 1930;[2] they also built the US 41–Fanny Hooe Creek Bridge[3] and the M-26–Cedar Creek Culvert[4] around the same time. The M-26–Silver River Culvert was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]

The Michigan Department of Transportation will remove the structure starting in late April 2023 and replace it with a modern concrete beam bridge in a project expected to take 10 weeks and cost $2.9 million.[5]
