On June 10, Wayne County Parks
received notification from the road com-
mission that the repair work on the first of
four bridges was complete and set to re-
open. The bridges were initially slated for
a complete rebuild after MDOT inspectors
found stress cracks in the center slabs
they said made the structures unsafe for
both pedestrians and motorists.
In April of last year Wayne County
Director of Roads, Mike Gorman, abruptly
closed three of the four bridges located in
Plymouth Township that cross the Rouge
River along with another located in
Livonia, near I-275.
It took the county almost nine months
decide whether to rebuild or replace the
bridges, complete design plans, conduct a
competitive bid inquiry and find a con-
tractor to start the work. A statement from
MDOT officials said the identical bridges;
all built in 1932, needed a complete
replacement and were past their planned
life span. The county opted for a repair,
rather than replacement, according to
Gunn.
The bridge located on Hines Drive at
Haggerty Road is the first re-build com-
pleted. A second bridge located west at
Hines and Woods Drive and third bridge
located on Hines west of the Northville
Road is set to re-open by the first of
August, according to information provided
by the county.
