PROJECT: Work is underway to rehabilitate two bridges in Muskegon County, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). This includes deck resurfacing, structural repairs, bearing realignment and approach work. This project is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS: Two-way traffic will be maintained on Fruitport and Russell roads utilizing temporary traffic signals and lane shifts. Single-lane and shoulder closures will be in effect on I-96 and US-31 with no closures taking place from 4 p.m. Friday through 6 a.m. Monday. To minimize traffic from Michigan's Adventure, the Russell Road bridge project will start next spring.

CUSTOMER BENEFIT: Motorists will benefit from the smoother ride surface and the increased service life of the bridges.

MDOT: Working to improve our state roads and bridges.
