Drivers can take southbound I-675 from the I-675 junction north of Kochville Road to the southbound I-75/I-675 interchange south of Wadsworth Road.
The closure is the first stage of a $2.9 million preventative maintenance project on the bridge. Other planned work includes joint repair, deck patching, and resealing.
What's next:
The next phase on the northbound side of the freeway is expected to begin July 14. Details about that work haven't been shared yet.
