HOUGHTON, Mich. (WJMN) – An upcoming repair project on the Portage Lake Lift Bridge will cause a closure and detour along a section of M-26. Beginning May 15, the Michigan Department of Transportation will begin a $4.3 million project on the US-41/M-26 Portage Lake Lift Bridge between Houghton and Hancock. Work being done during the project will include replacement of elevators and installing false decking under a section of the bridge. MDOT says work being done during the false decking project will require a full closure and detour of the eastbound M-26 bypass from Hancock to Dollar Bay under the bridge.
