MARSHALL, MI (WNWN/WTVB) – It’s something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving especially for those who drive between Marshall and Charlotte.
After three years of barrels, lane closures and bridge detours, the Michigan Department of Transportation’s three-year, $210 million investment to rebuild I-69 between Island Highway in Charlotte and I-94 in Calhoun County, will be wrapping up this week.
MDOT said in a press release that the final stretches of new pavement and pavement markings were completed last week, and crews were completing the paving of I-69 maintenance crossings this week
It was expected all lanes, ramps and bridges will reopen before Thanksgiving.
Crews will be returning in 2024 to complete some bridge painting and deck epoxy sealing that was delayed by cold and wet weather in October, but the impact on motorists will be minimal.
Funding for this project was made possible by Governor Whitmer’s Rebuilding Michigan program.
