MDOT announces repairs on 19 Michigan bridges in 2022

Ingham, Clinton, Eaton, Livingston and Lenawee are among the counties impacted

Governor Gretchen Whitmer has announced plans to rebuild 19 Michigan bridges this year with no additional costs to taxpayers.

The Michigan Department of Transportation’s (MDOT) pilot program will bundle the bridge projects, resulting in them being more cost-effective, according to the governor’s office. The program will start in March. All bridges are expected to be completed in 2022.

“As construction season quickly approaches, we have an opportunity to make historic investments to fix a record number of roads and bridges across the state,” Governor Whitmer said in a statement.

Clinton County: Herbison Road (March 1, 90 days), Tallman Road (April 15, 90 days)
