Travelers planning to use the stretch of westbound I-94/I-69 near the Blue Water Bridge plaza will need to seek alternative routes starting tomorrow. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has announced that construction work will begin at 6 a.m. to repair the bridge deck pavement. This closure is anticipated to affect the typical flow of vehicular movement in the Port Huron area until completion, which is expected by 5 p.m. on Friday, as reported by ClickOnDetroit.
The MDOT has laid out a detour to redirect the traffic via Hancock Street, Pine Grove Avenue, and Griswold Street. This routing is designed to minimize to the extent possible the disruption for those trying to navigate around the closure. "Beginning Tuesday, Nov. 12, crews will close westbound I-94/I-69 at the Pine Grove Connector exiting the BWB plaza while crews complete repairs to the deck pavement," detailed in a statement published on the official Michigan government website.
St. Clair County is currently undergoing repair work on a section of highway near Port Huron. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has stated that the repairs are necessary to maintain safety and extend the life of the bridge.
Commuters and residents are advised to plan ahead for this period to avoid any potential delays and to stay informed on the project's progress. MDOT commits to providing updates as necessary.
