July 12, 2022

ESCANABA, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will begin bridge maintenance work on Monday, July 18, requiring lane closures on the US-2 bridge over the Escanaba River.

The outside lanes and shoulders for both directions of US-2/US-41/M-35 will be closed first, followed by the inside lanes and center left-turn lane later in the week. Work is expected to be completed by Wednesday, July 20.

The lane closures are needed for deck surface seal work. The work is weather dependent, and the schedule is subject to change.

MDOT advises motorists to remain alert for workers and use caution when traveling through the work zone.
