​Governor Whitmer Continues to Fix the Damn Roads with Projects in 13 Counties Starting This Week

Picture
In 2022, Gov. Whitmer is making the largest investment in state roads and bridges in Michigan’s history  
 
LANSING, Mich. -- Today, Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced seven road projects slated to begin this week in 13 Michigan Counties. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) projects include, M-72 resurfacing in Alcona County, crack sealing on M-18, M-20, M-46, M-86, and US-10, chip sealing on M-51 and M-89, I-69 maintenance in Eaton County, M-26 resurfacing in Houghton County, and M-33 culvert replacement in Ogemaw County.  
 
“Across Michigan, we are moving dirt and fixing the damn roads to save drivers time and money. These investments across 13 counties will support 98 jobs, and help Michiganders go to work, run errands, and explore our beautiful state safely,” said Governor Whitmer. “Since I took office through the end of 2022, we will have invested 70% more in our roads than the previous four years to fix over 16,000 lane miles of road and 1,200 bridges, supporting nearly 89,000 jobs. Both my Rebuilding Michigan Plan and the bipartisan Building Michigan Together Plan are helping us build safe, reliable infrastructure that makes a difference for families and small business across the state. I hope you all like orange because you’ll be seeing a lot of cones and barrels throughout summer. I’m proud of what we have accomplished, so let’s roll up our sleeves and keep getting things done." 
 
MDOT Projects Starting This Week 
 
Second Avenue Bridge Move over I-94 in Detroit    
The Michigan Department of Transportation announced that moving the Second Avenue bridge over I-94 in Detroit will start Friday, July 22.  
 
The new Second Avenue structure will be the first network tied arch bridge built in the state of Michigan. This innovative design eliminates the need for a center pier, which will accommodate the future I-94/M-10 interchange. Moving the skeleton of the bridge across the freeway will be done using self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs), which are multi-axled rolling platforms. The skeleton will then be secured onto the new bridge supports on each side of I-94. Afterward, a team of engineers will conduct detailed inspections prior to reopening the freeway.
