Mackinaw Road bridge demolition at US-10 starts May 10 in Bay County

BAY CITY, Mich. -The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will close the Mackinaw Road overpass and ramps at US-10 as a part of a $32.8 million investment to rebuild westbound US-10 from 7 Mile Road to Bay City. In addition to demolishing and rebuilding the Mackinaw Road bridge, crews will also build two roundabouts at the overpass.

Traffic restrictions:
Starting at 7 a.m. May 10, Mackinaw Road will be closed from Bevanda Drive to Midland Road. Mackinaw Road traffic will be detoured north to Midland Road and west to 7 Mile Road, as well as south to Salzburg Road and west to 7 Mile Road.

All Mackinaw Road ramps will also close at 7 a.m. May 10 along US-10 so crews can prepare for the bridge demolition by removing overhead utilities and traffic signals. Ramp traffic will be detoured to the Nine Mile Road and Garfield Road ramps.

Starting at 9 p.m. May 10, eastbound and westbound US-10 will be closed at the Mackinaw Road overpass for bridge demolition. Traffic will be detoured via the Mackinaw Road ramps, which will be reopened at this time. Traffic will be routed straight through the ramps; to help ease congestion, no left or right turns will be allowed. Starting at 5 a.m. May 13, US-10 will reopen and the Mackinaw Road ramps will be closed again for the remainder of the project.

Existing single-lane closures on eastbound and westbound US-10 will remain in place until work ends in November.

Jobs numbers:
Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to directly and indirectly support 397 jobs.

Safety benefit:
This project is intended to improve US-10 while addressing important bridge repairs to ensure operations and safety of the road.
