DAVISON, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will implement nightly lane and ramp closures along both directions of I-75 at Miller Road in Genesee County starting July 7. Work will include repairs to the Miller Road structure, including heat straightening and painting.
This work is part of an overall $2.7 million investment to improve and repair 13 structures across Genesee, St. Clair, Arenac, Isabella and Clare counties on M-33, I-75, US-10, M-54 and I-94. Work will include concrete substructure patching, resealing bridge joints, steel rocker bearing realignment, steel beam repairs, heat straightening, painting and temporary supports. Work will progress to other structures in the project area.
"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."
