COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – For the first time in nearly five months, there are no barricades along U.S. 12 on the west side of Coldwater.
The Coldwater River bridge project is all but done as crews finished putting down lane markings on Wednesday.
The Michigan Department of Transportation project started on May 1. Traffic was restricted to one lane in each direction on U.S. 12 near the Coldwater River bridge while the road and bridge work was taking place.
A temporary traffic signal was put in place which tried the patience of drivers until the middle of September.
After the south lanes were paved, the two lanes on the north side of U.S. 12 were closed to traffic. The north side of the road was recently paved.
The $2-point-4 million project was originally scheduled to wrap up by November 17.
Work included approach and bridge repairs over the Coldwater River, as well as milling and resurfacing, joint repairs, guardrail, and concrete sidewalk improvements.
