CEDAR RIVER — Starting Aug. 3, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will invest about $500,000 to repair the M-35 bridge over Deer Creek near Cedar River in Menominee County. Work includes partial concrete deck and railing replacement, hot mix asphalt overlay and guardrail.

This project will increase safety and extend the lifespan of the bridge, and is expected to be completed by Oct. 16.

The project had originally been scheduled to begin in early July but was delayed due to COVID-19-related staffing issues.

This work will require a single-lane closure with one alternating lane of traffic maintained via temporary traffic signals.
