Thank you for your patience while we replace the Miller-Rotunda bridge in the city of Dearborn.

WHAT'S BEING DONE?

The bridge is scheduled to close on Monday, August 14, 2023, due to the critical condition of the structure. Wayne County previously increased the frequency of inspections to the bridge to ensure that any safety issues that arise do not go undetected. A recent inspection increased concerns for the safety of motorists and it has been decided that the bridge will close until a full replacement has occurred. Wayne County considers the safety of the public our highest priority.

WHEN WILL WORK TAKE PLACE?

The demolition of the bridge is scheduled to begin at the end of 2023. The bridge replacements will be complete by late summer 2026.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?

To complete this work, Miller and Rotunda bridges will be closed to thru traffic for the duration of the project.
