PROJECT: MDOT will invest $9.1 million to resurface 8.4 miles of I-75 from north of M-80 to north of M-28 in Chippewa County. Work includes cold milling, asphalt resurfacing, joint repairs, culverts, ramp extensions, guardrail, and pavement markings.

The investment strategy is aimed at fixes that result in longer useful lives and improves the condition of the state's infrastructure.
The project map is available on Mi Drive.
