Delays And Increased Cost Result

From The Zilwaukee, Michigan,

Bridge Project Mishap


In August 1982 the Zilwaukee Bridge under
construction on Interstate 75 near Saginaw,
Michigan, experienced a near collapse
caused by the failure of an expansion joint to
withstand the loading stresses imposed by
construction activities just prior to the
mishap

A contract to repair the damaged portion of
the bridge was signed in May 1983 and
repair work was completed in March 1984
The mishap will extend the bridge's com-
pletion by more than 3 years to 1987 and
increase costs by at least $38 million to a
total estimated cost of $119 million.

The state of Michigan is taking steps to
assure the future safety, maintenance, and
durability of the bridge.
