The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) announced that all lanes of northbound I-75 on the Zilwaukee Bridge in Saginaw County are scheduled to reopen on Tuesday, October 14, following the early completion of preventive maintenance.
MDOT stated, "Drivers should expect intermittent lane, shoulder and ramp closures throughout the project area during the morning into early afternoon hours as crews remove barricades and install new pavement markings."
Law enforcement will help manage traffic, and motorists are advised to anticipate delays. The reopening work is dependent on weather conditions.
According to MDOT, this project is part of a $2.9 million preventive maintenance investment for the Zilwaukee Bridge. The maintenance included expansion joint repair, deck patching, and resealing. The southbound side of the bridge underwent similar work, which was completed in June. These efforts are intended to improve and extend the bridge’s service life.
"This maintenance was necessary to improve and extend the service life of the structure," MDOT stated.
