Mackinac County, MI – Drivers using US-2 in Mackinac County should plan for a full closure of the Heath M. Robinson Memorial Cut River Bridge from Monday, Oct. 27, through Friday, Oct. 31, as the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) conducts a detailed inspection of the structure.
According to MDOT, the closure will allow crews to perform survey scanning, reach-all inspections, and soil borings to ensure the bridge’s continued safety and reliability. During the inspection period, US-2 traffic will be detoured along Cut River Road and Prater Boulevard, where a 45 mph speed limit will be in effect.
MDOT officials noted that no over-width permits will be issued along the detour route during the closure period. Drivers are encouraged to allow extra travel time and watch for signage directing the temporary route.
The inspections are part of MDOT’s ongoing commitment to maintaining bridge safety throughout Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The Heath M. Robinson Memorial Cut River Bridge, located west of Brevort, is a key link for regional traffic along the scenic US-2 corridor.
Motorists can find updates and detour maps through Michigan.gov/Drive and MDOT’s social media channels.
