7/30/14 - West Grand River bridgework is set to commence next week. The replacement of the bridge on Grand River between Webberville and Fowlerville will begin on August 4th and work is scheduled for completion on October 28th. The $900,000 project includes the demolition and replacement of the existing structure built in 1934. Livingston County Road Commission Managing Director Mike Craine says they originally considered building the new bridge partâwidth, using a temporary traffic signal to meter oneâway traffic across the existing bridge. However, he says full width construction will provide the necessary working room to build a better bridge in four fewer weeks than originally contemplated. Traffic will be detoured, with thru trucks directed to use Iâ96. Message boards identifying the recommended truck route will be located on Grand River at Mâ52 in Webberville and at Gregory Road in Fowlerville. Local traffic will be detoured on Stow, Allen, and Gramer Roads and the 4.5 mile detour will be posted before construction begins. Extra applications of dust control will be placed on the portion of the route that is aggregate surfaced. A copy of the detour route is attached.
