COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – A Michigan Department of Transportation project on the west side of Coldwater which has tried the patience of drivers all summer long is entering the home stretch.
Coldwater City Manager Keith Baker told the City Council on Monday night that according to MDOT, the U.S. 12 bridge project will be open by the time the city’s Haunted Forest takes place in Rotary Park.
The $2-point-4 million project started on May 1 after being discussed for several years.
Traffic has been 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.
Work has included approach and bridge repairs over the Coldwater River, as well as milling and resurfacing, joint repairs, guardrail, and concrete sidewalk improvements.
A temporary signal at the Coldwater Bridge has been installed while the bridge is being repaired. The estimated end date for the project was November 17.
