A power boat, full of passengers, stirs up a wake as it approaches the Wealthy St. Bridge during its construction across the Grand River. The construction scaffolding is in the river beneath the bridge. To the north is the Pere Marquette RR bridge, and a freight car is visible at the right side of the bridge. Another boat appears to be aground near the scaffolding. A man stands on the bridge watching the activity below.
