Tree clearing in advance of US-23, I-75 Mackinaw City project to start March 7
GAYLORD, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Transportation will be investing $12.3 million to rebuild and resurface US-23 from Old US-31 to east of South Huron Avenue and I-75 from M-108 (Nicolet Street/Mackinaw Highway) to the Mackinac Bridge (North Huron Avenue), as well as replace the southbound US-23 exit ramp bridge beams and deck over I-75. The project also includes rebuilding the I-75 ramps at Jamet Street (Exit 339) and Nicolet Street (Exit 338), upgrades to the I-75 bridges over the D&M Railroad and Central Avenue, and reconfiguring the US-23/Nicolet Street intersection. This project will improve safety and ride quality for motorists and extend the life of the roadway.
The project is scheduled to begin with tree clearing on March 7, with road and bridge work to begin April 11. The project is scheduled to be completed by mid-November. Details on the project are available on the project website.
