CALHOUN COUNTY, MI (WTVB) – Some would say there are two seasons in Michigan, winter and construction. It’s time for the orange barrels to reappear.
Governor Whitmer announced on Monday that work is resuming on two Michigan Department of Transportation projects on 30 miles of I-69 in Calhoun, Clinton, and Eaton counties.
The projects have a total investment over $283 million that the Governor’s office claims will support nearly 3,600 jobs as part of her Rebuilding Michigan program.
Work will resume to resume Monday on the $210 million investment to rebuild 25 miles of I-69 between Island Highway in Charlotte and I-94 in Calhoun County. Work includes rebuilding northbound I-69 from I-94 to north of Ainger Highway; rebuilding the interchange ramps at N Drive, M-78, and Ainger Road; rebuilding most of the I-69/I-94 interchange; replacing the 15 Mile Road bridge over I-94; and preventive maintenance on various bridges throughout the project area.
Work is also scheduled to resume Tuesday on the $73 million investment to rebuild I-69 from Airport Road to the I-96/I-69 interchange in Clinton and Eaton counties. Work for that project includes rebuilding more than five miles of I-69, rebuilding the interchanges at Francis and Airport roads, and performing preventive maintenance and repairs on 13 bridges.
