Michigan opens upgraded Miller-Rotunda Bridge
On June 11, 2026, Governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer joined the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the completion of the rebuilt Miller-Rotunda bridge in Dearborn, Mich. Annually, the Miller and Rotunda bridges are each crossed by over three million vehicles. The bridge was built in 1931, last rehabilitated in 1983 and supported by 500 wooden supports before construction began in 2023. The three-year project rehabilitated the two connecting bridges, adding to the almost 2,000 state and local bridges repaired following decades of underinvestment.
“I’m honored to reopen the Miller-Rotunda Bridge,” said Whitmer. “This is a full circle moment, as I visited this bridge during my first year as governor. Now, the rehabilitated bridge will connect Dearborn and grow our economy as a key artery for Ford’s Rouge Complex. I’m proud of our work to fix more than 26,500 lane miles of road and almost 2,000 bridges across Michigan, supporting tens of thousands of good-paying jobs and making Michiganders’ commutes smoother and safer.”
