Saginaw Michigan Bridge To Close For Construction

Southbound lanes of Interstate 75 and the Zilwaukee Bridge in Saginaw, Mich. will be closed for preventative maintenance starting in April, with the first stage lasting through June.

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) announced that the closure will affect the stretch of I-75 from Kochville to Wadsworth Road. The maintenance includes repairs to expansion joints, deck patching, and resealing.

Stage one of the project will begin on Monday, April 14, and is expected to end on Friday, June 27. During this time, southbound I-75 will be detoured onto southbound Interstate 675 from the I-675 junction north of Kochville Road to the southbound I-75/I-675 interchange south of Wadsworth Road.

Additional closures include the southbound I-75 ramp to Adams Street and the Adams Street ramp to southbound I-75.

Detours will direct traffic through southbound I-675 and Tittabawassee Road (Exit 6) to Adams Street and vice versa. The northbound I-675 ramp to southbound I-75 will also be closed, with detour routes via northbound I-75, Highway 84 (Exit 160), and southbound I-75.

Work on the northbound lanes is set to begin July 14, with detour details to be announced in advance.

The entire project is slated for completion in November.
