DAVISON, Mich. -The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is investing approximately $3.5 million to improve M-90 from M-24 to the west village limit of North Branch. Work will include resurfacing, centerline rumble strips, pavement markings and improvements to the North Branch Flint River bridge. Bridge work will include resurfacing, painting, scour protection, substructure repair, deck patching, railing repair, silane treatment, guardrail and approach work.
"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."
