M-45 (Lake Michigan Drive) resurfacing starts

June 9 between Allendale and Standale

 

OTTAWA COUNTY, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is investing $2 million to resurface 3 miles of M-45 (Lake Michigan Drive) between Standale and Allendale. 

"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." 

Counties:  Ottawa and Kent  

Highway:  M-45 (Lake Michigan Drive)

Closest community:  Allendale

Start date:  Monday, June 9, 2025

Estimated end date:  Mid-August 2025 

Traffic restrictions:  Lane closures will be in effect throughout the project. Short-term intersection closures will be in place during paving.

Jobs numbers: Based on economic modeling, this $2 million investment is expected to directly and indirectly support 19 jobs. 

Safety Benefits:  This project will improve the ride and extend the service life of the roadway.
