Included in this $40 million project is the rehabilitation of the railroad viaduct that crosses Fort Street. This portion of the project will require a full closure of M-85 at the viaduct. In addition, the project includes updated lighting, improved local street access, construction of a non-motorized path and aesthetic improvements.

MDOT: Working to improve our state roads and bridges.
