I-94 bridge construction over Pipestone Road starts Thursday
COLOMA, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) on Monday is continuing work to widen the eastbound I-94 bridge over Pipestone Road to prepare for the I-94 rebuilding project between Red Arrow Highway and Britain Avenue in 2023 and 2024. Crews will begin building the new, temporary bridge lanes. Work this year is a $7.3 million investment that includes pavement repairs on 8.8 miles of I-94 from Puetz Road to Britain Avenue and building median crossovers and emergency pull-offs on I-94.
