Construction Begins on I-75 Near St. Ignace

Road construction on I-75 and St. Ignace business loop commenced Monday, April 30, and Tuesday, May 1.

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is milling and resurfacing nine miles of road on the southbound side of I-75 between the Mackinac County line and M-134. The project includes crack repairs, guardrail upgrades, and drainage improvements along both northbound and southbound I- 75.

It is a continuation of a 2006 project that extended from Sault Ste. Marie and is expected to be finished by the end of October.

The work will dictate lane closures.

MDOT is also milling and resurfacing about a mile of road on I-75 business loop in St. Ignace, from Marquette Street to Antoine Street. The project, which started May 1 and is expected to be completed by June 7, includes adjustments to drainage structures and water service covers as well as permanent pavement marking.

Lanes will be intermittently closed.
