PROJECT:                           The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will begin 24-hour work at the temporary bridge site on M-30 over the Tobacco River.

TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS:                      M-30 is closed from Cedar Drive to Twin Lake Road. Traffic will be detoured via Curtis Road, M-18, and Dale Road.

This work will result in increased noise levels, particularly Dec. 16 - 22 and Dec. 28 - 30 while crews drive steel sheeting and piles for the bridge foundation. Overnight work is being allowed to expedite the building schedule.

SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS: This work will replace the former M-30 causeway bridge washed away during May flooding and dam breaches.
