BACKGROUND:
Beginning in April, MDOT will reconstruct US-41 between Marquette County Road 492 to just west of Brickyard Road, extending the existing boulevard roadway. The westbound lanes will be moved north to accommodate space needed for the divided highway. The project includes replacing signalized intersections with roundabouts at Brickyard Road and at County Road 492 near Walmart and Target, along with constructing indirect left-turn lanes, or "Michigan Lefts."
The budget for the road work is estimated at $8.5 million, with another $2.4 million estimated for the multi-use trail and tunnel.
