Contractors have begun site preparation for a bridge replacement project set to begin Aug. 5 along Dorsey Lake Road in Alger County.

The bridge is over a tributary to the West Branch of the Whitefish River.

Work on the $265,500 state-funded project will be completed by Triest Forest Products of Bark River. The road will be closed during bridge construction.

The project is expected to be completed by Sept. 25.
