CALHOUN COUNTY, MI (WNWN) – Work to rebuild I-69 continues in Calhoun and Eaton Counties. The Michigan Department of Transportation provided an update on Wednesday on the road work from north of Ainger Road to Island Highway which officially started March 1.
Both northbound and southbound I-69 will be rebuilt this year including the interchange ramps at Cochran Road and M-50.
Work will continue on the northbound side while traffic is maintained in the southbound lanes.
When the northbound lanes are done, work will immediately start on the southbound lanes.
MDOT is investing $210 million to rebuild I-69 from south of I-94 in Marshall to Island Highway in Eaton County.
The project is part of the Rebuilding Michigan Plan and will include rebuilding 25 miles of I-69, rebuilding six interchanges, rebuilding the 15 Mile Road bridge over I-94, repairing 26 bridges, and making drainage and safety improvements.
In addition, crews will repave the Turkeyville Rest Area and carpool lot, as well as the Potterville Rest Area. The project will continue in 2022 and 2023.
