The Michigan Department of Transportation has plans to replace the Karl B. Robertson Bridge in 2018. At 57 years old, the last major structural repairs were done to the bridge in 2008.

“The current M-20 bridge is listed as structurally deficient; it is actually in the critical condition,” said MDOT Director Kirk Steudle. “We need some major work on it. At some point you need to recognize there is an end to its useful life. It has to be addressed. It will not stand forever.”
To keep the bridge safe during the interim period, another round of repairs will be completed next summer.
