portable restroom rental in Southwest Detroit and Corktown

Corktown's Michigan Avenue is being rebuilt from Cass Avenue to I-96, and the Gordie Howe bridge works sit in the same part of the city. Detroit Porta Potty Rental answers calls 24/7 and plans units around the closures and the crews.

Southwest Detroit and Corktown have some of the largest road and bridge work in view across the city. A $70 million reconstruction of Michigan Avenue in Corktown, running from Cass Avenue to I-96, was reported for 2026. The project replaces the pavement and removes historic bricks, so the work moves in stages and the crews on it change as the stages do. The US-side works for the Gordie Howe International Bridge, and the approaches to the Ambassador Bridge, lie in the same part of the city.

The bridge was reported about 98 percent complete in October 2025 with a 2026 opening target. Its current status was not confirmed, so this page does not say whether it has opened. What can be said is that a road job of this size keeps crews on the street for months, and a unit that is needed for that work is needed on the crews' schedule, which the job's phasing sets.

What does a staged road rebuild need from a unit?

A road rebuild moves. The crew works one block, then the next, and the unit has to be placed where the work is this week, not where it was last month. Pavement removal and the handling of historic bricks take the most time, so the phasing plan is the best source for where and when a unit is needed.

Ask the contractor for the stage schedule before booking. A unit placed in a lane that closes two days later has to be moved, and a move costs the crew time they did not plan to lose.

How does the bridge work change the picture in Southwest Detroit?

The Gordie Howe bridge's US-side works and the Ambassador Bridge approaches are heavy construction sites with their own gate, access and safety rules. Whether the bridge has opened as of October 2026 is not sourced, so a request for a site near it should be checked with the project contact for the current status.

Bridge-side jobs tend to need units for longer than their visible activity suggests, because the crews are on site before the public work starts and after it has stopped.

What does a crew count look like on a road job?

Federal construction guidance (29 CFR 1926.51(c)) sets one toilet for up to 20 workers, with more seats and urinals above that. Michigan's MIOSHA construction rule (R 408.40129) was summarised in a 2008 legislative analysis as one toilet for 1 to 20 employees and two for 21 to 40, with mobile crews on transport exempt. That summary is the only version sourced, so the current rule should be checked with the contractor before a count is set.

Crew numbers on a road job change as the stages move, so the count should be reviewed at each stage rather than fixed once at the start.

What does the city need before a unit goes in a public lane or on a sidewalk?

A unit in a public lane or on a sidewalk is an encroachment on city ground, and the contractor's traffic plan is the document that governs where it stands. Park and event permits are a separate process, with a Special Events Application, department sign-off and City Council approval for events.

Keep the approved plan with the unit, and move a unit only with the contractor's agreement, so that the traffic plan and the unit stay in step.

FAQ

Southwest Detroit and Corktown FAQs

Will you move a unit when the road stage changes?

Yes, with the contractor's agreement and the stage schedule. Phones are answered 24/7, and the time of any move is set with the operator rather than promised on the call.

Is the Gordie Howe bridge open?

That is not sourced here. Check with the project contact for the current status before booking a site near the bridge.

How many units does a road crew need?

There is no Detroit or Michigan ratio for general events, and the MIOSHA figure is from a 2008 summary. Set the count from the contractor's crew numbers and stage plan.

Can a unit stand on Michigan Avenue?

Only where the contractor's traffic plan allows it. A unit in a public lane needs that plan to show it.

How do I check the hauler for a road job?

Portable toilet contents are septage under Michigan's Part 117, so the hauler needs state septage licences. Ask the operator which EGLE licences its hauler holds, and use EGLE's online Septage Haulers Directory to check it.
