Upgrades to the Grosse Ile free bridge that had been scheduled for last weekend are now scheduled for Saturday and Sunday.

The free bridge, which connects the island to Trenton, will close from 7:30 a.m. Saturday to 5 p.m. Sunday, said Vanessa Denha-Garmo, press secretary for Wayne County executive Robert Ficano.

Crews will install a catwalk beneath the bridge, work that’s part of a larger recent rehabilitation project, Denha-Garmo said.

Drivers will have to use the Grosse Ile Toll Bridge between the island and Riverview. Toll information is available at http://www.grosseilebridge.com.
