LANSING, Mich. -- Today, Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced that the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is slated to begin multiple projects this week, including the next phase of work on the Rebuilding Michigan project on I-69 in Clinton County, the next phase of work on the US-127 Rebuilding Michigan project in Ingham County, and the next phase of work on the new Second Avenue bridge over I-94 in Wayne County. Based on economic modeling, these investments are expected to support 2,051 jobs.

“Across Michigan, we are moving dirt and fixing the damn roads to save drivers time and money. These investments in Clinton, Ingham, and Wayne counties will help Michiganders get where they need to go 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’m proud of what we have accomplished, so let’s roll up our sleeves and keep getting things done."
