Work on the M-64 bridge over Floodwood River and M-64 bridge over Halfway Creek will begin Monday as part of the $4.9 million Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) investment to rebuild four bridges in Iron and Ontonagon counties.
Work will include deck replacement, substructure repairs, scour countermeasures, beam end repairs, steel cleaning and coating, and roadway approach work on the two M-64 bridges as well as US-141 over the East Branch of the Net River (project start date to be announced) and US-45 over Roselawn Creek (work already underway).
The project is expected to wrap up by Thursday, Oct. 27, 2022 (for all four bridges).
One alternating lane will be open at the bridges during work using temporary traffic signals. A 13-foot width restriction will be in place at the bridges.
Based on economic modeling, M-DOT estimates that will, directly and indirectly, support 62 jobs in the western U.P.
This work will extend the lifespan of the bridges and result in a smoother driving surface and increased safety for motorists.
