Denton Bridge Update June 11, 2026
We have received several questions about the Denton Road Bridge and its anticipated opening date. We wanted to provide an update on the bridge and expected timelines. Most of the contract work for the bridge will be completed around the 4th of July. The only outstanding item is the installation of the retaining wall top cap. We are working with Wayne County and the contractor to resolve this. It is not yet clear if the required solutions will keep the bridge closed. We will communicate updates as we learn more.
After the bridge items are completed, the contractor will begin repairs at the Belleville & Liberty intersection. This includes replacing deteriorated concrete. The work will take 4-6 weeks. It is our understanding that traffic will be maintained in both directions during the intersection work.
We understand and hear everyoneβs concerns about the Denton Road Bridge closure and reopening. We emphasize these concerns with Wayne County and the contractor to ensure we do all we can to open the bridge quickly. If anyone has further questions, please contact us by email at [email protected]. We appreciate everyoneβs patience over the years and look forward to opening the bridge as soon as possible.
