New Bridge Closures Impact Multiple U.S. States

Numerous highway and bridge closures are affecting travel across the U.S. starting the week of June 17-23, 2025. In Michigan, the westbound I-69 exit to Miller Road in Flint will close for nine days as part of a $2.7 million bridge improvement project, and the Grosse Ile Parkway Bridge will close to vehicles and pedestrians for up to two weeks for repairs, rerouting all traffic via the Grosse Ile Toll Bridge. Major lane closures will begin in Seattle on northbound I-5 across the Ship Canal Bridge, marking the start of a multi-year preservation project expected to cause significant congestion. In South Carolina, the Sea Mountain Highway swing bridge in Horry County will close overnight for maintenance. In Arkansas, a bridge in Jackson County has been closed indefinitely due to critical structural defects. These closures reflect ongoing infrastructure investments and the resulting travel disruptions for affected communities.
