LUNA PIER, Mich. — The Luna Pier Road bridge over I-75 will reopen Thursday by 5 p.m. after being closed since late last fall for reconstruction, the Michigan Department of Transportation announced.

The southbound I-75 exits at both South Otter Creek Road (Exit 9) and Luna Pier (Exit 6) remain closed for ramp reconstruction, while I-75 is narrowed to two lanes each way through the zone. The overall project is scheduled for completion in November.

Homelessness board says it's switching gears, enacting new plan
The Lucas County Homelessness Board will be switching gears in how it will work to decrease homelessness in the county. To better coordinate with providers and understand what needs to be done to address homelessness, the board will enact its Home For Everyone Continuum of Care strategic plan, which will include having actual conversations with residents who are experiencing homelessness and improving data access between organizations that are combating the issue across the county, it announced at a news conference on Wednesday. “We’ve done a lot of work to reform and create [a] culture within the community that’s willing to say, ‘We can do better with each other instead of feeling competitive,’” said Julie Embree, interim executive director for the Lucas County Homelessness Board. “The next piece is: We’ve got to get our data in order.” A substantial piece of the plan, she said, is hearing from people who are suffering and have suffered from homelessness to provide insight on whether or not they believe the plans being proposed will actually work. One such resident is James Barker, a Continuum of Care board member who has struggled with homelessness off and on for a few years.
