Summary
MDOT announced overnight closures of Charlevoix’s US-31 bascule bridge from March 27 through April 7, 2017, while repairs and upgrades were underway. The notice directed travelers to a detour through East Jordan, Boyne Falls, and Petoskey and gave May 25 as the scheduled project completion date.
Evidence limits
The forum preserves an official project notice. It is strong evidence for the planned closure window, detour, project cost, and scheduled completion, but it does not by itself prove that the work finished on time or measure impacts on Beaver Island travelers.

It described a $1.9 million repair/upgrades project begun in January and a scheduled May 25 completion. The notice establishes the plan, not actual completion or traffic effects.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 11 · t011315
