The Michigan Department of Transportation recently completed four road and bridge projects totaling $6.3 million.
“With the completion of these four projects, Michiganders will have a smoother drive, saving them time and money as they run errands, go to work, or travel,” Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said. “Through the end of 2022, we will fix over 16,000 lane miles of road and more than 1,200 bridges, supporting nearly 89,000 jobs. The bipartisan budget I recently signed, will continue to support more projects like these across the state. The projects we’re moving forward with will support more good-paying jobs and deliver on an issue that matters to us all — safe, reliable infrastructure. ”
The $2.5 million M-37 resurfacing project resurfaced 17.3 miles from north of Peninsula Drive to the northern terminus in Peninsula Township.
The $486,000 I-75 project provided epoxy sealing for nine bridges on I-75 and Rau Road over I-75 in Roscommon and Ogemaw Counties.
The $1.3 million Luther Road bridge project made repairs on US-131 in Osceola County. Work included partial deck replacement, substructure repair, concrete barrier replacement, epoxy overlay of the deck, approach work, expansion joints, and new guardrail.
The $2 million 19 Mile Road project replaced the culvert on US-131 Business Route (19 Mile Road) over Dalziel Creek in Mecosta County and reconstructed the approach.
