M-28 shoulder work in Chippewa County starts June 8

SAULT STE. MARIE -- The Michigan Department of Transportation is investing about $2.9 million for shoulder widening on M-28 from M-221 to I-75 in Chippewa County, extending the lifespan of the roadway and increasing safety for motorists.

The project also includes resurfacing the carpool lot at the I-75 interchange.

The tentative start date is 
Monday, June 8 with the estimated ending date of 
Friday, Aug. 21. 
Motorists should expect single-lane closures on M-28 from M-221 to I-75. An 11-foot width restriction will be in place during the project.

Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to directly and indirectly support 25 jobs.
