Also starting Tuesday in Luce County, 6.1 miles of M-28 from Borgstrom Road to the Chippewa County line will be resurfaced. The estimated completion date is August 27.  

A culvert will be replaced on M-28 near Paynesville starting Wednesday. The project should be done by July 22.

And beginning July 12 MDOT will resurface nearly 9.5 miles of US-2 from east of Tannery Road to west of Schoolcraft County Road 432, and from east of River Road to east of Lake Street in Schoolcraft County.
