Union Bridge Company

Some sources (such as the Saugatuck reference) indicate that the Union Bridge Company may have been absorbed into the American Bridge Company in the 1900 consolidation.

A company with the same name, chartered in 1873, was involved in a US Supreme Court case in 1907 involving compliance with a law giving the Secretary of War the authority to order removal of obstructions to navigation on rivers and waterways. It is not yet clear if this is the same company or not.
