Contractor: Grand River Construction
Start Date: July 29 (state permits for doing work within the waterway required a late July start due to aquatic species in Huron River)

Special note: Huron River will also close to Huron River traffic during various stages of bridge construction. The current plan is to keep the river open during the weekends throughout construction to minimize recreational impacts. The first closure will happen Sunday, July 29 @ 9 p.m. through Friday, August 3.
