MIDLAND, MI — The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is inviting the public to an open house to discuss two significant infrastructure projects set to begin in Midland County this spring. The event will take place on Monday, Feb. 10, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Midland County Road Commission, located at 2334 N. Meridian Road in Sanford, Michigan.
The open house will provide community members, city representatives, local businesses, and interested residents an opportunity to learn more about the planned projects. MDOT staff and contractors will be present to answer questions and provide detailed information.
MDOT is investing $7.3 million to replace the M-30 bridge over US-10 in Sanford. The new bridge will feature a 14-foot-wide separated nonmotorized path on the west side to accommodate future pathway connections. Improvements will also be made to the eastbound US-10 bridge approach over the Tittabawassee River. Construction is scheduled to begin in March and is expected to be completed by August 2025.
In addition, MDOT is allocating $21.9 million to resurface and upgrade a 5.7-mile stretch of M-20 from M-30 to Currie Parkway west of Midland. The project will include resurfacing, shoulder widening, concrete curb and gutter work, joint repairs, storm sewer improvements, guardrail upgrades, and updated pavement markings. Work on this project is also slated to begin in March, with completion anticipated in November 2025.
MDOT encourages participation from all community members. Attendees requiring mobility, visual, hearing, written, or other assistance for effective participation should contact Orlando Curry at 517-241-7462 or CurryO@Michigan.gov at least five business days prior to the meeting. Accommodation requests made after this timeframe will be considered to the extent possible.
This open house provides a forum for community members to engage with MDOT representatives and learn about the impact and timeline of these significant infrastructure investments. For more information, contact Caitlyn French at 989-573-1274 or visit the MDOT website.
