MARQUETTE, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is investing about $2.8 million to resurface about 11 miles of M-28 from US-41 to the Alger County line in Marquette County. Work includes crack filling, surface sealing, asphalt cold milling and resurfacing, and pavement markings. Some of the work will be done at night to minimize traffic impacts.
"Across Michigan, we are moving dirt and fixing the damn roads to grow our economy, helping Michiganders go to work, drop their kids off at school and run errands safely," said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. "By the end of this construction season, we will have fixed, repaired or replaced nearly 24,500 lane miles of roads and 1,900 bridges, supporting thousands of good-paying, local jobs without raising taxes by a dime. This year, let's build on our momentum to pass a bipartisan local road funding plan so we can keep fixing our damn roads and creating good-paying, local jobs."
