Repairs Underway On US-10 Sanford Lake Bridge
May 24, 2020 8:15AM EDT
The Michigan Department of Transportation has awarded an emergency contract to repair the damage from flooding at the US-10 bridges over Sanford Lake in Midland County. A Midland firm, Fisher Contracting, was the low bidder at $1.78M. Crews from Fisher have begun work, less than four full days after the flooding occurred.
“Gov. Whitmer visited Midland the day after the flooding and asked me to make it a priority to restore roads and bridges as quickly as possible,” said MDOT Director Paul C. Ajegba. “U.S. 10 is a vital commercial corridor in the region and I’m pleased that a contractor has already begun the work to open the road to traffic.”
US-10 and Sanford Lake bridges schedule:
- Build temporary crossovers, repair the eastbound bridge and shift eastbound and westbound US-10 traffic to the eastbound roadway in early June. This will allow one lane of traffic in each direction on US-10.
- Repair the westbound bridge and roadway with a goal of being open to traffic by mid-June.
- Remove temporary crossovers by late June.
- All work is weather dependent.
