ST. IGNACE — The Michigan Department of Transportation is investing about $9 million to rebuild overpasses, including deck replacement, bearing replacement, substructure repairs, beam end repairs, steel cleaning and coating and approach work on I-75 at Cheeseman Road in the city of St. Ignace.

This is a two-year project, with work on northbound I-75 completed in 2025 and southbound I-75 occurring this year. 
This project will increase safety for motorists and extend the lifespan of the roadway.

Work will restart April 11 and be completed by Nov. 6. 
Northbound and southbound I-75 traffic will be reduced to one lane, with southbound traffic crossed over to the northbound side using temporary crossovers. Two-way traffic will be maintained via temporary concrete barrier walls. A 12-foot lane width restriction will be in place during the project. The posted speed limit will be reduced to 60 mph; 45 mph where workers present.


Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to directly and indirectly support 76 jobs.
