Michigan Bridge Facts

More than 5,600 county bridges serve state residents.

 

Nearly 20% of our county bridges are closed or posted with reduced weight limits [Note: structures less than 20 feet in length
are not included on these lists as they are considered to be culverts].

 
Local Agency Programs (MDOT) updates posted bridge data by county annually.

Sign the Petition

The Michigan Transportation Team (MTT) recently announced an online petition drive for citizens who are tired of driving on pothole-riddled streets. Although the petition is non-binding and will not change the law, the names of petition signers will be presented to state policymakers to demonstrate the level of support in Michigan for investing in our state’s infrastructure.

About Drive MI

With transportation needs increasing, and available funding not able to keep pace with the growing demands of the state’s transportation network, the Drive MI Campaign represents a comprehensive strategy for fully funding Michigan’s transportation system in the 21st century.
