From: Michigan Governor Gretchen WhitmerIn 2022, Governor Whitmer is making the largest investment in state roads and bridges in Michigan’s history
LANSING, MI -- ?Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) announced that a M-25 resurfacing project will begin from Aug 22nd, in Huron County. Based on economic modeling, this investment will support 42 jobs.
“Across Michigan, we are moving dirt and fixing the damn roads to save drivers time and money. This investment in Huron County will support 42 jobs and help Michiganders get 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’m proud of what we have accomplished, so let’s roll up our sleeves and keep getting things done."

Rebuilding Michigan’s Roads and Bridges
Since taking office through the end of 2022, Governor Whitmer and Lt. Governor Gilchrist will have fixed, repaired, or replaced more than 16,000 lane miles of road and 1,200 bridges, supporting more than 89,000 jobs without raising taxes by a dime. These and future repairs are made possible by the Rebuilding Michigan plan, a five-year, $3.5 billion investment in our highways and bridges, and the bipartisan Building Michigan Together Plan, the largest one-time investment in Michigan's infrastructure in state history. These strategic investments in Michigan's infrastructure ensure that future Michiganders will have safer roads and bridges to run errands, travel, and strengthen the economy.
