M-64 bridge work begins Monday

ONTONAGON — Repairs on the M-64 bridge over the Ontonagon River will begin Monday.

The Michigan Department of Transportation said the estimated completion date is Sept. 14.

The $1.2 million MDOT project will include epoxy overlay, deck patching, joint replacement, substructure repair and approach reconstruction work.

One alternating lane of traffic will be open, with use of temporary traffic signals.

An 11-foot width restriction will be in effect in the work zone.

MDOT said the project will restore the pavement condition on the bridge and approaches for a smoother driving surface and increased safety, and will extend the lifespan of the bridge deck.
