M-50 over River Raisin in Monroe closed due to flooding

Contact:  Julie Yapp, MDOT Communications Representative, 517-204-1513
Agency: Transportation


COUNTY: Monroe

HIGHWAY: M-50 over River Raisin

CLOSEST CITY: Dundee

ESTIMATED STARTING DATE: Thursday, March 12, 2009

ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE: Saturday, March 14, 2009

TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS: Both directions of the M-50 bridge over the River Raisin in Dundee will be closed at approximately 4 p.m. Thursday, March 12, due to the high water level of the river which is causing standing water on M-50

Portable message boards and signs will direct traffic to detour routes. Traffic will be directed to utilize US-23, Ida West Road, Dixon Road, and Lewis Avenue to bypass the closed M-50 bridge.

The bridge is anticipated to be closed for approximately 48 hours, and will be re-opened when water levels have subsided and the roadway is clear of standing water.

MDOT says: Remember - in Ice and Snow, Take it Slow!
