M-57 road work begins Wednesday, June 11 between

Carson City and Sheridan

 

CARSON CITY, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is investing approximately $2 million to improve nearly 11 miles of M-57 (E. Carson City Road) from M-66 east to the western village limit of Carson City. The project includes chip sealing, new guardrail and shoulder improvements.    

"Across Michigan, we are moving dirt and fixing the damn roads to grow our economy, helping Michiganders go to work, drop their kids off at school and run errands safely," said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. "By the end of this construction season, we will have fixed, repaired or replaced nearly 24,500 lane miles of roads and 1,900 bridges, supporting thousands of good-paying, local jobs without raising taxes by a dime. This year, let's build on our momentum to pass a bipartisan local road funding plan so we can keep fixing our damn roads and creating good-paying, local jobs." 

County:  Montcalm

Highway:  M-57 (E. Carson City Road)
