Nighttime US-10 closures start Aug. 5 for M-30 bridge beam replacement in Sanford

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. – The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has secured new replacement beams for the M-30 bridge over US-10 in Sanford. MDOT will close US-10 nightly Aug. 5 and 6 to allow crews to safely set the new beams.

Bridge beams that were set in May showed signs of cracking. Out of an abundance of caution, crews promptly removed the beams and replacements were obtained.

Westbound US-10 will be closed from 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 5, to 7 a.m. Wednesday Aug. 6. Traffic will be detoured via M-30 Exit 116, northbound M-30, westbound Curtis Road and southbound M-18 back to US-10.

Eastbound US-10 will then be closed from 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 6, to 6 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 7. Traffic will be detoured via M-18 Exit 109, northbound M-18, eastbound Curtis Road, southbound M-30, eastbound Shaffer Road, and southbound Stark Road back to US-10.

M-30 will remain closed over US-10 as a part of a $7.3 million project to improve the structure. Southbound M-30 traffic is currently detoured via westbound US-10, southbound W. River Road and eastbound US-10 back to southbound M-30. Northbound traffic is detoured via eastbound US-10, northbound Stark Road and westbound US-10 back to northbound M-30.
