Highway Program and Non-Capital Uses

MDOT’s 2026-2030 Trunkline Highway Capital Program investment is estimated at approximately $10.6 billion. This total reflects investments for pre-construction (scoping, design, environmental clearance and right-of-way acquisition) and construction activities but excludes pre-capital program costs valued at $1.9 billion, such as debt service payments. This investment will provide Michigan travelers with an average of:

  • 1,431 lane-mile improvements per year, covering:
    • Replacement and improvement of 211 lane miles per year,
    • Extending the life of 1,220 lane miles each year through capital preventive maintenance (CPM).
  • Repair or replacement of 56 bridges per year.
