CALHOUN COUNTY, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has paused work on the three-year, $210 million project to rebuild I-69 from Marshall, Calhoun County, to Charlotte, Eaton County.
With all lanes, ramps and bridges reopened for the winter, drivers can expect the final year of work to begin in March 2023 with the anticipated completion in November 2023.
MDOT officials say next year’s work will include rebuilding southbound I-69 and the remaining ramps at the I-69/I-94 interchange, paving the final course of asphalt on the remainder of the project, and bridge painting throughout the entire work area.
Over the past two years, MDOT and its contractors have rebuilt northbound I-69 from I-94 in Marshall to Island Highway in Charlotte, rebuilt northbound and southbound I-69 from Ainger Road to Island Highway, rebuilt the 15 Mile Road bridge over I-94, rebuilt four ramps at the I-69/I-94 interchange, rebuilt ramps at the I-69 interchanges at M-50 and Cochran Road, and completed repairs and upgrades on several bridges in the project corridor.
