📋 Tender Overview
Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist II was joined by federal state and local leaders to tour the I-94 Second Avenue Bridge project as construction crews complete a multi-day movement to slide the bridge into its final position. This is the largest project of its kind in Michigan history and the first network tied arch bridge in the state of Michigan. The design of the new bridge eliminates the need for a center pier which will accommodate the future I-94M-10 interchange.I am excited to be a part of this historic infrastructure event and celebrate as we mark a major step forward in rebuilding and modernizing our states infrastructure said Lt. Governor Gilchrist II. Thanks to the investments made in the Building Michigan Together Plan and the Rebuilding Michigan Plan since the governor and I took office through the end of this year 89000 hardworking Michiganders will have fixed over 16000 lane miles of road and 1200 bridges. This project proves we can build transformational infrastructure in Michigan and reflects what happens when we come together and to invest in improving Michiganders everyday lives.This innovative network tied-arch bridge project demonstrates what we can accomplish together said State Transportation Director Paul C. Ajegba. With sufficient transportation funding we can make these sorts of investments. Investments that connect communities and provide better mobility for pedestrians bicyclists and motor vehicles.These are the types of infrastructure investments that Michigan needs to continue to grow and attract businesses and new residents said State Senator Adam Hollier D-Detroit. I am so proud to have worked with Governor Whitmer on a budget that funds the most critical needs of our state.
