What happened

Well supportedReported by 6 independent outlets

The Michigan Department of Transportation is undertaking several infrastructure projects across Michigan. MDOT is spending $348,000 to repair three bridges near the I-75 and I-69 interchange near Flint, with intermittent closures expected through September 18. Separately, a railroad crossing overhaul on Utica Road in Fraser is scheduled to begin September 14, with MDOT allocating $300,000 toward the work. Furthermore, the Tunnel of Trees (M-119) remains severely damaged from spring and summer storms, and repairs may not be completed until 2028.
