US-127 ramp closures in Ingham County begin Tuesday
LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will temporarily close the Kipp Road on ramp to northbound US-127 and the northbound US-127 off ramp to M-36 (Cedar Street) to perform maintenance in Mason. This work is part of the multi-year US-127 resurfacing and bridge repair project in Ingham County. MDOT is investing approximately $62 million to resurface 12.5 miles of pavement, repair 10 structures, improve drainage, and install guardrail and barrier wall on US-127 between the Jackson/Ingham county line and M-36 in Ingham County.
Funding for this project is made possible by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's Rebuilding Michigan program to rebuild the state highways and bridges that are critical to the state's economy and carry the most traffic. The investment strategy is aimed at fixes that result in longer useful lives and improve the condition of the state's infrastructure.
