Construction on the Mackinac Bridge will commence on March 25, involving repaving, deck, and joint repairs along the two northbound lanes. The project, which will last until May 23, will maintain one lane open in each direction during construction. Wide-load restrictions will be in place, with wider loads allowed to cross one per day between 7 and 8 p.m., Monday to Thursday. The Mackinac Bridge Authority recommends drivers cross during non-peak hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to avoid traffic backups.
