To accurately assess the overall condition of the Zilwaukee Bridge, MDOT performs a detailed inspection every four years.

TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS: Lane closures will be in effect on the far left and far right lanes of northbound and southbound I-75 across the bridge to accommodate this work for the duration of this project. During weekdays, two lanes will remain open in each direction.
