Big changes are in line for one of Mt. Clemens'
biggest thoroughfares and part of those changes includes preserving
one of the city's historic bridges.The Michigan Department of Transportation
is planning to rebuild four miles of Gratiot
Avenue, including two bridges over the Clinton River. One of those bridges, for
southbound lanes, is listed as a historic structure.
"Even though it will be a new bridge
it will keep the same architectural integrity and aesthetics of the bridge it
will replace," says Rob Morosi, spokesman for MDOT.
Improvements will encompass the
southbound lanes between Sunnyview and Sandpiper streets, along with the
northbound lanes between Sandpiper and Remick streets.
The MDOT will also hold a public forum on
the proposed changes. That meeting will be held between 3:30 and 7 p.m.
Wednesday in the Mt. Clemens Public Library, 150 Cass Ave.
For information on the project call (517) 373-9534.
