COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The City of Coldwater has announced a large Michigan Department of Transportation on the west side of the city is scheduled to start next Monday, May 1.
City Manager Keith Baker said during Monday’s Coldwater City Council meeting that traffic will be restricted to one lane in each direction on U.S. 12 near the Coldwater River bridge while the road and bridge work is taking place.
MDOT is investing $2-point-4 in the project which has been discussed for several years.
Baker says drivers should use caution when driving on U.S. 12 west of Western Avenue while the work is in progress.
Work includes approach and bridge repairs over the Coldwater River, as well as milling and resurfacing, joint repairs, guardrail, and concrete sidewalk improvements.
There will be a temporary signal at the Coldwater Bridge from late May through mid-August during bridge repairs. MDOT says the project is expected to directly and indirectly support nearly 29 jobs.
The estimated end date for the project is November 17.
