The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is entering the final construction phase for reconfiguring St. Clair County’s Pine Grove Avenue/10th Avenue intersection.
This work is a part of the ongoing Blue Water Bridge (BWB) plaza expansion project in Port Huron. The eastbound I-94/I-69 Exit 275 (Pine Grove Connector) ramp to M-25 (Pine Grove Avenue) has now been realigned and is open to traffic. Work is continuing on the noise walls along Scott Avenue, with completion expected by Nov. 15.
Component 1 of the BWB plaza expansion project is still ongoing, which includes relocating Exit 275, reconfiguring the Pine Grove Avenue/10th Avenue intersection, rebuilding eastbound I-94/I-69 at the MDOT maintenance facility location, and installing noise walls along the eastbound I-94/I-69 exit to Pine Grove Avenue, as well as along westbound I-94/I-69 Business Loop (BL) from Garfield Street south to the Black River Bridge.
Based on economic modeling, this $36.3 million investment is expected to directly and indirectly support 346 jobs.
