BACKGROUND:
MDOT is investing approximately $12 million to perform resurfacing and drainage improvements on M-43. Work will include joint and crack repairs, intermittent curb and gutter replacement, spot drainage repairs, sidewalk ramp upgrades compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, pedestrian island installation, pavement markings upgrades, and traffic signal improvements. As part of this project, MDOT is partnering with Meridian Township and the Ingham County Drain Commission to relocate 200 feet of a 16-inch watermain and will be upgrading the Okemos and Grettenberger drains.
Work is anticipated to begin in March 2022 for tree clearing activities, transitioning to road work beginning in April. The project is anticipated to be completed by June 2023.
Road work is to be completed with one lane open in each direction on M-43. Business access will be maintained throughout the project.
