Project to repair three eastern U.P. bridges begins April 17

NEWBERRY, Mich. – The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is investing about $2 million to repair the 1-75 bridge over the Carp River, the M-123 overpass at I-75 and the M-134 bridge over the Pine River in Mackinac County.

Work includes epoxy overlay, deck patching, joint replacement, structure patching, railing repairs, beam, substructure, surface sealer, and approach work. This project includes a five-year epoxy bridge deck overlay performance warranty.

The project is expected to start April 1 on the M-134 bridge and be done by November 8. At the M-134 bridge, one lane of alternating traffic will be open at all times using traffic signals and a temporary barrier wall. Traffic will be restricted to a 10-foot maximum width and a speed reduction of 35 mph will be in place through the work area.
