M-30 over the Tobacco River Bridge Replacement
- The contractor now has all of the beams set on M-30, and the contractor is now going to begin working on the superstructure work. This superstructure work includes pouring the backwalls at the abutments, pier diaphragms, and placing stay in place forms & steel reinforcement for the bridge deck. The contractor is anticipating a bridge deck pour, the week of August 12th. The roadway widening work on the southern side of the bridge began yesterday, and crews are also working on drainage improvements on the south side of the bridge as well. This project is still on track to be completed in late September.
County Wide Culvert Project
- After a few weeks off, the county wide culvert project is starting back up on M-30. Starting today, the contractor will be working on M-30 between Sugar River Road and the north Gladwin County Line. In this area, the contractor will be performing a full culvert replacement that will require M-30 to be closed for up to 14 days. Traffic will be detoured via Sugar River Road to Round Lake Road to Greenwood Road. After work at this location is completed, the contractor will move south on M-30 to work on another full culvert replacement between Howard and Highwood Road. This will also require a total closure for approximately 14 days after construction begins and traffic will be detoured via Howard Road to Hockaday Road to M-61.
