In addition to rebuilding the roadway, storm sewer, sidewalks, and upgrading traffic signals, MDOT is partnering with the City of West Branch to include streetscape improvements and watermain replacement.
The project is planned to begin in late summer of 2023, with the majority of work taking place in 2024.
