Beginning Monday (August 5th), there will be some bridge work being done on Business U.S. 131 in Constantine. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is going to be treating the surface of the US-131 bridge that covers the St. Joseph River.

According to a press release from MDOT, the work is scheduled to be completed by Wednesday, Aug. 28. The project is expected to extend the overall life of the bridge.
