Lift bridge inspections set for next week

HOUGHTON, MI--   One lane on the Portage Lake Lift Bridge will be closed next Wednesday for inspection purposes.

The Michigan Department of Transportation says routine annual inspections will require the closures from 7 a.m. to no later than 6 p.m. The northbound lane will be closed in the morning and the southbound lane in the afternoon.

MDOT says periodic inspections help ensure continued safe operation of the bridge and identify priorities for future maintenance and repair work.
