The bridge over the White River on Highway M-25 just north of Cedar Bluff is being replaced. Here's what the construction site looks like tonight, looking north. There are two huge cranes and several hydra units. A cofferdam is in place and guides the river through the construction.
Because of the construction all traffic is routed across Atwater Road and then up either Schock Road or Ruth Road. Consequently the road in front of the lake house is quiet. We are noticing the bird songs this spring much more than before. The tanker semi-trucks that run almost hourly up and down the highway to the chemical plants in Harbor Beach are re-routed. On summer weekends we see lots of campers and motorcycles. They have to take the detour, too.
So, we will have a quieter summer, until the bridge is finished.
