Robinson Creek Bridge work will detour travelers for 6 weeks
By Ken De Laat Beginning Thursday morning September 14th travelers who generally drive through the Robinson Lake area enroute to White Cloud, Fremont, Wooster or other destinations will be looking at adding few more miles for that trip. Like around a dozen. The Newaygo County RoadCommission announced a 12 mile detour necessitated by the much needed bridge replacement over Robinson Creek. The project means commuters who generally travel the road that passes through Jugville will need to modify their route as well as their departure time. The detour for those coming from Fremont will send travelers north on Baldwin to M20 and east to M-37 then south to White Cloud. Drivers from the Robinson Lake area east would head north out of White Cloud west on M20 and south on Baldwin NCRC Director Derek Wawszcyk explained that the short notice is due to the NCRC getting an unexpectedly early date of delivery for the box culvert that will replace the old structure and the desire to have the project completed by the opening of hunting season. The detour will continue for the next 6 weeks. The bridge has been deteriorating at a rapid rate with its capacity being reduced in each of the past 5 annual inspections making the bridge replacement a crucial part of keeping our roads safe.
