PROJECT DETAILS: MDOT is investing $1.8 million to improve approximately 2 miles of M-59 between Williams Lake Road and Airport Road. The project includes concrete patching, repairing catch basins, and pavement markings. One lane will be open in each direction, with work performed at night and during off-peak hours for lighter traffic near the work zone. Work is scheduled to begin in June and is expected to be completed in October.
SAFETY BENEFITS: This work will provide a smoother driving surface and help maintain safety. Repairing catch basins will help prevent water on the roadway that could cause hydroplaning or flooding, and new pavement markings will help motorists more easily identify lanes during darkness or poor weather.
