MDOT to replace old Keweenaw County bridge

EAGLE HARBOR TOWNSHIP, MI— The replacement of the Silver River bridge in Keweenaw County starts next week.

The Michigan Department of Transportation is investing $2.9 million to construct a new bridge. The roadway section of the bridge will be wider, including 12-foot lanes and 8-foot shoulders, providing more space and increased safety for bicyclists and pedestrians.

M-26 just west of the western entrance to Brockway Drive will be closed starting Tuesday.

The project is expected to last about 10 weeks.
