SAWYER -- There is some good news for motorists travelling to and from the Sawyer area.  The M-94 bridge over the CN Railroad east on M-553 is set to open on Tuesday.

Construction crews were putting the finishing touches on the road Monday afternoon, filling in the cracks and painting.

The Michigan Department of Transportation wanted to pursue the $250,000 project because they said portions of the bridge deteriorated over time and posed safety risks for motorists.

Local contractor, Associated Construction, took on the project.
