Congresswoman Lisa McClain announced that she secured funding for several transportation projects in Michigan’s 10th Congressional District. The funding is part of the INVEST in America Act, and several projects will take place in St. Clair and Sanilac County.
One of the projects is the replacement of the King Road Bridge over the Belle River in China Township. Funding for this project came in at $2,299,800.
Sanilac County projects include reconstruction on M-46 and M-19, and the replacement of the Marlette Road Bridge over the South Branch of the Cass River. Funding for those projects combined will be just over $11 million.
Other projects include work on 21 mile Road in Macomb Township, and the Genesee Street Bridge in Lapeer.
McClain said, “Michigan’s roads and bridges are in dire need of repair and I’m glad the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure see several of my funding requests as critical priorities for Michiganders. I look forward to these projects being included in the final appropriations bill.”
