MDOT begins roadwork on M-35 and US-2 in Delta and Schoolcraft Counties

DELTA & SCHOOLCRAFT COUNTIES, Mich. (WZMQ) – On Monday, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) began multiple road repair projects across the state, including in Delta and Schoolcraft counties.

According to Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s office, the work is part of her ongoing initiative to “fix the damn roads.” Based on economic modeling, the investments are expected to directly and indirectly support 90 jobs.

“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,” Whitmer said. “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.” 

MDOT is investing approximately $2.5 million to resurface more than nine miles of US-2 from west of M-183 to west of Carlson Road in Cooks and Garden townships. Work will include asphalt resurfacing, aggregate shoulders, and pavement markings. The project is expected to support 24 jobs.

In the City of Escanaba, MDOT is investing about $1 million to resurface nearly two miles of M-35 from Lakeshore Drive to US-2. Work will include asphalt cold milling and resurfacing, drainage structure repairs and cleaning, concrete curb repair, and pavement markings. Some of the work will be done at night. The project is expected to support ten jobs.

The work in Delta and Schoolcraft counties is designed to expand the lifespan of the roadway and increase safety for motorists. Both projects are expected to wrap up in mid-July.
