HOUGHTON, MI— Early morning closures of the Portage Lake Lift Bridge will continue into next week.
The Michigan Department of Transportation says multiple closures of the bridge between 12:15 and 5:15 a.m. are necessary for repair work. Each will last about 30 minutes. That will result in delays for vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic.
Traffic will be allowed to clear between closures.
Next week closures are planned for Tuesday through Friday mornings. The schedule is tentative and may be adjusted.
