ST. IGNACE — Starting today, traffic will be reconfigured at the Michigan Department of Transportation rebuilding project on the U.S. 2 bridge over I-75 in St. Ignace.

Today, the following lane restrictions will be in place:

≤Eastbound U.S. 2 outside (right) lane will be closed, maintaining one lane of traffic at all times. There will be a 12-foot width restriction.

≤Westbound U.S. 2 outside (right) lane will be closed, maintaining one lane of traffic at all times. There will be a 12-foot width restriction.

≤Southbound I-75 outside (right) lane will be closed, maintaining one lane of traffic at all times. There will be a 12-foot width restriction.

≤Northbound I-75 outside (right) shoulder will be closed, maintaining both lanes of traffic at all times. There will be a 12-foot width restriction.

≤The ongoing work is part of the $4.5 million project to repair the U.S. 2 bridge over I-75 in the city of St. Ignace. Work on this two-year project will include expansion joint replacement, pier cap and bearing replacement, and painting.

Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to directly and indirectly support 54 jobs.

Work started March 27 and is expected to be completed in October 2024. Additional lane shifts and restrictions will be required during future stages.
