Work on the Portage Lake Lift Bridge is almost complete, but motorists will have to contend with a few more delays until then.
The Michigan Department of Transportation says test lifts will continue this week as part of the ongoing maintenance work and will likely result in brief delays for motorists.
MDOT says the delays will be 10 to 15 minutes, similar to a standard bridge lift for marine traffic.
Test lifts will be conducted at various times both during the day and at night.
Traffic will be allowed to clear and resume normal flow between test lifts.
The $8.4 million project started in mid-December 2014 and is scheduled to be completed later this month.
