MDOT to discuss possible removal of Crane Road bridge over I-75 in Saginaw County
WHAT: The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) invites the public to attend an informational meeting regarding the possible removal of the Crane Road bridge over I-75 in Saginaw County.
WHO: MDOT staff Contractor representatives Interested residents Business owners
WHEN: Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2013 4 to 7 p.m.
WHERE: Kochville Township Hall 5851 Mackinaw Road Saginaw
Special accommodations: 248-451-0001
BACKGROUND: MDOT is seeking public input on the future of the Crane Road bridge over I-75. As part of an upcoming I-75 reconstruction project, MDOT is considering options that include total bridge replacement (approximately $2,500,000) or potential bridge removal due to low traffic volumes. In the event the final decision is to remove the Crane Road bridge completely, a local road bridge (Venoy Road over the Goetz Drain) would be replaced to accommodate any changes in traffic patterns. The estimated cost for this option is approximately $836,000.
Interested residents, business owners and community representatives are invited to stop by anytime during this open house-style meeting to learn more and provide input. MDOT staff members will be available to answer questions.
The proposed project will enhance safety for motorists.
