Bridge repair on M-14 to close lanes beginning Monday, July 27

Agency: Transportation


July 21, 2009 -- Contracting crews will be closing the two right lanes of westbound M-14 over the Rouge River starting Monday, July 27, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). The lane restrictions are associated with the $287,000 repair to the bridge that is currently underway. This phase of the project is expected to last until Sunday, Aug. 9.

The repairs to M-14 over the Rouge River, located just east of Sheldon Road, are necessary based on a recent inspection. During the inspection, engineers discovered some safety concerns with structural components that need to be addressed. The lane closures will allow crews to conduct the necessary work on the structure's abutment wall, which helps support the bridge beams.

The entire project is expected to be completed in mid-September.
