SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is investing about $126,000 in underground storm sewer repair and roadway rebuilding on I-75 Business Spur (BS) in Sault Ste. Marie, Chippewa County.
"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."
