PROJECT DETAILS:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – April 20, 2015 – (RealEstateRama) — The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will be rebuilding the M-54 (Dort Highway) bridge and widening the Center and Averill bridges, beginning with demolition of the north section of the Dort Highway bridge tonight. All I-69 traffic has been shifted to the eastbound lanes of the highway as of Thursday night, April 16. All this work is expected to take one week to complete.
The north section of the M-54 (Dort Highway) bridge will be demolished beginning at 10 p.m. tonight, with crews working around the clock. This work is expected to be complete by late Sunday/early Monday.
Once M-54 (Dort Highway) demolition work is complete, crews will then move on to the Center Road bridge. Work will occur nightly from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. for three nights beginning Sunday or Monday, depending on when work on the Dort Highway bridge is finished.
After Center Road bridge work is finished, crews will then move on to the Averill Road bridge. That bridge work will occur nightly over a three-day period as well, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
