Fort Road Bridge

The Fort Road bridge in Saginaw County was reconstructed during the summer of 2010. The project included the complete demolition and reconstruction of the bridge due to structural deficiencies. Spicer Group provided the safety inspection of the original bridge, conducted a road rating study and provided the design and construction inspection of the new bridge. 

One of the ways it was improved was by reducing the number of spans from four spans to three. The two-lane bridge was also made wider, allowing engineers to make the bridge safer by adding an 8 foot sidewalk with a vehicular railing separating it from the road. Another way the bridge was upgraded was raising the elevation and making the road even with the nearby railroad tracks. Previously, there was a speed bump at the railroad tracks because the road was much lower, now it’s raised and smooth.
