BACKGROUND: MDOT will be reconstructing approximately 2 miles of northbound and southbound Fort Street between Oakwood Boulevard and Schaefer Highway. The work is scheduled to begin in summer 2010 and be completed in late 2011.
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.
