FENTON TWP., MI -- Crews plan to continue epoxy seal coating of bridge structures along the US-23 corridor this week after weather delayed the project last week.

Starting Monday, Aug. 8, work is scheduled to start on the outside lanes of Silver Lake Road over US-23, requiring exit and entrance ramps to close.

One direction of Silver Lake Road will remain open, MDOT said in a news release, and additional lane closures are expected at Owen Road, Torrey Road, and Lahring Road under the direction of a traffic regulator.

Although the bridge work is expected to continue throughout the week, the project is weather dependent and additional time may be required to complete it, according to the state.

The bridge seal coating is part of a $12.3-million investment in 16 structures along US-23 that were started in 2021.

MDOT said drivers in the area should use caution as they approach the work zone this week because road workers will be present and working close to live traffic.
