For those taking a drive on M-46 in Michigan’s Thumb, road construction will be underway on the east-west thoroughfare throughout the month of June.
The Michigan Department of Transportation reports that they are resurfacing 2.5 miles of M-46 from the west village limits of Carsonville to Goetze Road. The Sanilac County work includes resurfacing, joint repairs, and concrete sidewalk ramp repairs, as well as shoulder gravel and pavement markings.
The work has begun and it is expected to go until June 30th, pending no weather delays.
MDOT reports that one lane will be open during daytime working hours with traffic regulators. Once work is completed for the day, lane restrictions will be removed.
The $800,000 project is being done to provide a smoother road and extend the life of the roadway.
The project is part of the Building Michigan Together Plan, a bipartisan effort to invest almost $5 billion in Michigan’s infrastructure including $317 million for local roads and bridges throughout the state.
