MDOT closes bridge over expressway to install temporary supports.
Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) bridge inspectors have discovered a critical condition with the beams on the bridge that carries University Drive over I-75, MDOT announced on Friday, Jan. 17.
Because of the faults, MDOT is closing University Drive over the freeway to traffic until temporary supports can be installed. Temporary supports will need to be installed on both sides of the median pier and, according to MDOT, are being expedited to happen as soon as possible.
