US-223 resurfacing in Adrian continues Tuesday, Aug. 19
August 18, 2025
LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will continue resurfacing, joint repairs and installing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant sidewalks on US-223 at US-223 Business Route (BR) (Maumee Street) in the city of Adrian. This work is part of the ongoing US-223 resurfacing project that began earlier this month.
"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."
