Saginaw Bridge Reconstruction

• Work includes changing the five-lane roadway to four lanes between Washington Avenue and North Cedar Street, widening sidewalks on both sides of the street from 5 feet to 8 feet.
• The City of Lansing's River Trail will be widened from 7 feet to 10 feet, headroom will be improved
  under the bridge, and the path will be raised above the Grand River to minimize closures due to flooding.
