A busy bridge has re-opened with a new weight limit.

The Washtenaw County Road Commission has re-opened the Maple Road (Foster) Bridge, over the Huron River between Huron River Drive and Country Club Road in Ann Arbor Township.

That comes after a bridge contractor removed the failed post-tensioning cable system during the week of September 15th.

The Maple Road Bridge has a new weight limit of 5 Tons to promote structural integrity of the bridge and motorist safety. The weight limit accommodates most passenger SUVs, and light-duty pick-up trucks.

The Road Commission thanked everyone for their patience during the emergency bridge closure.
