The 44th Street SW bridge over U.S. 131 will be closed to through traffic staring today, July 23, through 6 a.m. Monday, July 26. The closure is due to maintenance.
U.S. 131 traffic will be allowed to turn right fro the freeway exits on 44th Street but will not be able to turn left and cross the bridge. Traffic on 44th Street will be directed to turn before the bridge and yes the next exit, either 36th Street or 54th Street.
All work is weather dependent. The project is being lead by the Michigan Department of Transportation.
Other road projects in the city include resurfacing work on Wilson Avenue, both northbound and southbound lanes. Currently, traffic is now routed to the outer lanes while the contractor performs concrete restoration on the median islands.
