Drivers on M-25 in southern Sanilac County need to be aware of road work scheduled to begin next week. The 5.6-mile stretch between Fisher Road and Mortimer Line roads will be under construction for two months.
The road work has a $1.4 million price tag and includes a complete resurfacing. Other planned projects include joint repairs, shoulder improvements, and pavement markings.
The Michigan Department of Transportation reports that the work is meant to create a smoother roadway while extending the life of the important north-south corridor.
For the duration of the construction project, one lane will be open during daytime working hours with traffic regulators. Lane restrictions will be removed at the end of each day.
The road work is estimated to be creating or sustaining twenty jobs, according to MDOT. The project is expected to begin on Monday, May 2nd, and run until Thursday, June 30th, barring any unexpected delays.
With labor and materials costs rising, Michigan is spending billions on road construction and other infrastructure projects this year.
