The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has announced progress on the Blue Water Bridge plaza expansion project in Port Huron. The department is moving into the final construction phase to reconfigure the Pine Grove Avenue and 10th Avenue intersection.
MDOT reported that the eastbound I-94/I-69 Exit 275 (Pine Grove Connector) ramp to M-25 (Pine Grove Avenue) has been realigned and is now open for traffic. Work is ongoing to complete noise walls along Scott Avenue, with an expected finish date of November 15.
Component 1 of the expansion project remains in progress. This phase involves relocating Exit 275, reconfiguring the Pine Grove Avenue/10th Avenue intersection, rebuilding eastbound I-94/I-69 near the MDOT maintenance facility, and installing noise walls along several stretches of highway, including eastbound I-94/I-69 exit to Pine Grove Avenue and westbound I-94/I-69 Business Loop from Garfield Street to the Black River Bridge.
According to economic modeling, the $36.3 million project is projected to support 346 jobs both directly and indirectly.
