Davison, MI – A lane closure is scheduled Friday on southbound I-75 in Genesee County as crews complete bridge painting at the Fenton Road overpass.
According to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), a single lane will be closed from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on I-75 near Davison. The closure is part of a $2.7 million project to repair and maintain bridges across several counties, including Genesee, St. Clair, Arenac, Isabella, and Clare.
The work includes patching, sealing bridge joints, rocker bearing realignment, steel beam repairs, heat straightening, painting, and adding temporary supports. MDOT said the project is expected to support 26 jobs.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said the statewide construction effort is aimed at improving safety and creating jobs. “By the end of this construction season, we will have fixed, repaired or replaced nearly 1,900 bridges, supporting thousands of good-paying, local jobs without raising taxes,” Whitmer said in a statement.
Drivers should expect slowdowns in the work zone during the closure and are advised to plan alternate routes if possible. MDOT noted that lane closures of this type are standard to maintain safe conditions for both work crews and motorists.
The bridge painting project is part of Michigan’s larger effort to improve road infrastructure statewide, with long-term goals of enhancing traffic flow, safety, and economic growth.
