Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed what she called an “overwhelmingly bipartisan” budget plan. Part of the blueprint includes nearly $200 million to fix 100 crumbling bridges in the state.
MDOT has stated that no bridges are ever left open if they are unsafe for drivers to cross. However, Michigan Department of Transportation recently provided an update on just how bad some of our bridges are in the state.
North of Lapeer on the way into the middle of Michigan's Thumb is Silverwood Road. An old camelback bridge carries a tradition, do a burnout when you cross.
