Update: M-123 bridge project in Mackinac County now set to begin May 27

NEWBERRY, Mich. – The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is investing about $2.5 million for bridge and roadway rebuilding on M-123 over Bissel Creek, Mackinac County. Work includes culvert replacement, scour countermeasures, drainage, shoulder widening, and guardrail work. Work on this project previously announced to begin May 12 will now begin Tuesday, May 27. 

“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.”
