Lake Antoine road getting revamped

IRON MOUNTAIN, MI--   The state is giving the Dickinson County Road Commission $2 million to update Lake Antoine Road. 

The project will make the stretch all-season as part of an economic development plan in Iron Mountain.

Officials say upgrading the road will provide a year-round alternate route between US-2 and US-141’ to keep commercial traffic from downtown Iron Mountain.  They say it will also provide a direct access link with the System Control facility for receiving raw materials and shipping their product. 

The project is expected to cost about $2.5 million.  Local matches will make up the difference.
