Governor Whitmer Continues to Fix the Damn Roads with Projects Starting Next Week in Four Counties
LANSING, Mich. — Today, Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced that the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will begin multiple road and bridge repair projects next week in four counties including resurfacing work on M-28 in Chippewa County, rebuilding the I-94 Dearing Road exit ramp in Jackson County, rebuilding the I-96 exit ramp to Novi Road in Oakland County, and repairing the Bellevue Road on ramp to US-127 in Ingham County. Based on economic modeling, these investments are expected to support 6,325 jobs.
“Across Michigan, we are moving dirt and fixing the damn roads to drive economic activity, help Michiganders go to work, drop their kids off at school, and run errands safely,” said Governor Whitmer. “Through the end of this construction season, we will have fixed, repaired, or replaced nearly 20,000 lane miles of state-owned roads and 1,400 bridges since I took office, supporting 89,000 jobs without raising taxes by a dime. Let’s roll up our sleeves and keep getting things done.”

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is investing about $4.3 million to resurface about six miles of M-28 from east of Raco to M-221 in Superior Township, Chippewa County. Work includes asphalt milling and resurfacing, guardrail, and pavement markings. Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to support 52 jobs.

Rebuilding Michigan’s Roads and Bridges
