Bridge repairs under way on bridge over Au Sable River

The Bay City Times carries this story regarding the bridge construction across the AuSable River:

Drivers who frequent the Au Sable River Bridge in Oscoda will endure about two more months of construction before it is fully repaired and revamped, officials said. The bridge, on US-23, will see a new layer of concrete, new barriers and a new 8-foot pedestrian walkway by July 29 if everything goes as scheduled.

Workers removed 4 inches of concrete from the 10-inch-thick bridge, and will overlay it with 4 inches of new concrete. They plan to pour the new concrete this week.

Traffic has been directed to two lanes on the east side of the bridge. Hilberg said traffic will switch sides sometime after Memorial Day and similar work will begin on the east side.
