Southbound I-75 lane closure for bridge painting Sept. 5 in Genesee County

DAVISON, Mich. - On Friday, Sept. 5, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will implement a single-lane closure from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on southbound I-75 at the Fenton Road bridge in Genesee County.

This work is part of an overall $2.7 million investment to improve and repair 13 structures across Genesee, St. Clair, Arenac, Isabella and Clare counties on M-33, I-75, US-10, M-54 and I-94. Work includes concrete substructure patching, resealing bridge joints, steel rocker bearing realignment, steel beam repairs, heat straightening, painting and temporary supports.

Based on economic modeling, this overall investment is expected to directly and indirectly support 26 jobs.

"Across Michigan, we are moving dirt and fixing the damn roads to grow our economy, helping Michiganders go to work, drop their kids off at school and run errands safely," said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. "By the end of this construction season, we will have fixed, repaired or replaced nearly 24,500 lane miles of roads and 1,900 bridges, supporting thousands of good-paying, local jobs without raising taxes by a dime. This year, let's build on our momentum to pass a bipartisan local road funding plan so we can keep fixing our damn roads and creating good-paying, local jobs."

Lane closures during this type of work are necessary to provide the safest work area possible for crews and motorists.
