Starting today, drivers crossing the Blue Water Bridge eastbound into Canada should expect lane closures. The Michigan Department of Transportation says crews will be repairing the bridge deck to extend its lifespan. One lane will remain open from the toll plaza to mid-span, but vehicles wider than 14 feet won’t be allowed. Westbound traffic into the U.S. won’t be affected. The work is expected to continue through November.

Port Huron leaders have cleared the way for a long-delayed housing project on the south end. City Council voted to sell the old River District Market site on Electric Avenue for $5 to Woda Cooper Companies. The developer plans Robin Crest, a $17 million project with 50 affordable apartments, including supportive housing and barrier-free units. The complex would feature modern amenities and sustainable design, aiming for net-zero energy. Officials say shifting from condos to rentals better meets local housing needs. If state tax credits are secured, construction could begin in 2026.
