MANISTIQUE — The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is investing about $555,000 to resurface 0.8 miles of US-2 from west of Chippewa Avenue to the Manistique River bridge in the city of Manistique in Schoolcraft County. Work includes resurfacing, aggregate shoulders, and pavement markings.

The project started Monday, Aug. 29,and is expected to be completed by Friday, Sept. 30.

Motorists should expect lane closures with traffic regulators. A lane width restriction of 12 feet will be in place during the project.

Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to directly and indirectly support seven jobs. This work will extend the lifespan of the roadway and result in a smoother driving surface and increased safety for motorists.
