The Mackinac Bridge Authority (MBA) today announced that the entire stretch of the southbound lanes of the bridge will be milled and resurfaced beginning Monday, April 13, weather permitting. Two-way traffic will utilize the northbound lanes for the duration of the project.
“This is the same type of work we had going last year but it is on the opposite side,” said MBA Chief Engineer Kim Nowack. “So that we can accommodate the high number of holiday travelers, we will make sure that all lanes are open for the Memorial Day weekend.”
During construction, wide loads exceeding 10 feet will only be able to cross between 4-5 a.m. on weekdays. Crews are expected to complete the entire project by June 17 when all lanes of the bridge will be open in time for the annual car show in St. Ignace. Each year the car show brings a steady volume of traffic to the Straits area.
