Work is scheduled to begin this spring on a project that includes: 

• Relocating the eastbound I-94/I-69 exit to M-25 (Pine Grove Avenue). 
• Reconfiguring the 10th Avenue/Pine Grove Avenue intersection. 
• Rebuilding eastbound I-94/I-69 at the MDOT maintenance facility location.

The Blue Water Bridge is a major international crossing, spanning the St. Clair River between the U.S. and Canada with toll payment and inspection plazas on each side. The original bridge span was built in 1938, the second opened in 1997, for a total six lanes of traffic between Port Huron in Michigan and Port Edward in Ontario.
