A posted detour remains in effect. Northbound US-8 traffic is detoured via US-141 through Niagara Wisconsin and on to US-2 near Quinnesec. The detour is reversed for southbound traffic. Access to the Menominee River will remain open on both sides of the bridge for the duration of the project.The Michigan Department of Transportation MDOT and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation WisDOT are investing about 2.4 million to replace the bridge deck and railing and paint structural steel on the bridge over the Menominee River at the Michigan-Wisconsin state line.
