Dearborn, MI - Miller Road will be closing over M-153 (Ford Road) in Dearborn at 9 a.m. on Monday, March 16, 2020 for bridge work. The project is expected to end Late August 2020.
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is investing $1.4 million for bridge repairs on Miller Road over M-153. This project includes median pier replacement, structural steel repairs, railing replacement, epoxy overlay, painting of the steel bridge beams, water main relocation, and bridge approach reconstruction. This work requires closing Miller Road over M-153 along with lane closures on M-153. There will also be weekends where M-153 will be closed under Miller Road (between late May and July).
Initial work begins Monday, March 16, with tree removal on Miller Road and M-153. Miller Road is expected to close Friday, April 3, for approximately one month with single-lane closures on M-153.
