United States Brevort Tender

The Michigan Department of Transportation MDOT is investing 2.3 million to replace the US-2 bridge over the Brevort River in Moran Township Mackinac County. The narrow bridge originally constructed in 1935 is considered functionally obsolete and is no longer a viable candidate for preventive maintenance it needs to be replaced. The current structure is 55 feet long and 38 feet wide with shoulders. The new bridge will be 110 feet long and a little more than 46 feet wide with 10-foot shoulders.The work will require closing US-2 at the bridge with a posted detour. Westbound traffic will be detoured onto I-75 in St. Ignace to M-123 to Worth Road and back onto US-2. The detour will be reversed for eastbound traffic. The detour adds approximately 3 miles to the route for through-traffic. Moran Township and St. Ignace businesses along US-2 will still be open and accessible.The new structure will be wider safer and more efficient for the motoring public and pedestrians.
