The
Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is overseeing a $12.8 million project on M-26 over the east and west branches of the Firesteel River. The work is taking place in Ontonagon County in the western Upper Peninsula.
"The project is needed to replace two bridges that were reaching the end of their useful lifespans," said Dan Weingarten, MDOT communications representative. "They'll be replaced by modern structures that will provide numerous benefits."
The structures need to be taken down to ensure road safety and function into the future. Safety features include improved geometrics and horizontal and vertical curvature. Work began last spring but was suspended in November for the winter season, with construction resuming this spring.
