LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will be striping lanes and removing barrier wall this weekend to begin opening
US-127 from I-96 to Dunckel Road, as well as the ramps at the US-127/I-96 interchange.
This work is part of the $205 million investment to rebuild US-127/I-496 from I-96 to I-496. For project news and updates, visit www.Michigan.gov/127Corridor, or contact MDOT-127Corridor@Michigan.gov.
"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."
