Southbound I-75 Rouge River Bridge construction: Aerial video shows progress

DETROIT – Sky4 was up and over the southbound I-75 Rouge River Bridge on Monday to capture construction progress. 

The southbound side of the bridge was shut down to traffic in February when the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) launched $200 million construction project. The project includes replacing all of the concrete on the I-75 Rouge River bridge, the largest concrete surface in the state of Michigan, according to MDOT. 

Drivers should expect southbound I-75 to remain closed for two years -- northbound I-75 will remain open at all times, MDOT said.

This video from Monday, July 17, 2017 shows construction workers busy putting together the southbound side of the bridge. 

Watch the aerial video above.
