Work will begin on Tuesday, April 25 on the Silver Ridge bridge replacement project as part of a $2.9 million investment to remove and replace the bridge this summer. Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to support 35 jobs.
County: Keweenaw
Highway: M-26
Closest city: Eagle Harbor
Start date: Tuesday, April 25
Estimated end date: July 2023
Traffic restrictions: During the project, traffic will be detoured for approximately 10 weeks via a posted route on US-41. The M-26 closure will be just west of the western entrance to Brockway Drive, about 10 miles from Copper Harbor.
Safety benefit: This work will replace a bridge which has reached the end of its useful service life. The roadway section of the new bridge will be wider, including 12-foot lanes and 8-foot shoulders, providing more space and increased safety for bicyclists and pedestrians.
