Saginaw, MI – Northbound drivers on Interstate 75 should prepare for intermittent lane and ramp closures Tuesday, Oct. 14, as the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) completes final work ahead of reopening the Zilwaukee Bridge in Saginaw County.
According to MDOT, all northbound lanes on I-75 over the Zilwaukee Bridge will reopen after early completion of preventive maintenance. Crews will remove barricades and install new pavement markings through the morning and early afternoon hours.
Law enforcement will assist with traffic control, and motorists should plan for possible slowdowns. MDOT noted that all work is weather-dependent and may extend slightly if conditions change.
The project is part of a $2.9 million investment in preventive maintenance on the Zilwaukee Bridge, including expansion joint repair, deck patching, and resealing. Work on the southbound side of the bridge was completed in June as part of the same effort. Officials said the maintenance is designed to improve and extend the service life of the structure.
