M-30 Bridge Reopening, Gladwin County

[@daviddanastasio5360]

Nice that M-30 Is reopining and it nice that y'all are getting work done with our roads but when is i94 or i95 getting redone?

[@MichiganDOT]

Hi David! What area of I-94 are you referring to? We have a few projects along that freeway across the state. I-95 is not in Michigan.

Sounds like the wonderful folks at TDOT made great use of any emergency funding received to address those lost and damaged bridges. Much like MDOT did with M-30 and other bridges in the area that was affected by that 2020 flooding event. :)

what a sorry State the mACKINAW BRIDGE ONLY TOOK 3 YEARS

[@MichiganDOT]

Hi there! Keep in mind this was by no means a planned event (while the Mackinac Bridge was decades in the making). A temporary bridge was installed to serve as a temporary crossing while designs (and budgeting) were finalized for a permanent structure that would be built better and more resilient than the original structure built decades prior. Thanks for following MDOT.

[@MichiganDOT]

Hi there! As we mentioned, a temporary bridge was indeed installed following the washout. After that, funding had to be identified to build a new and more resilient structure. As for M-6, that wasn't the only roadway across the country to suffer those same issues due to the standards of the time. Thankfully those standards have been updated and improved and we haven't seen similar issues pop up again.

Hi there! That certainly wasn't the only roadway across the country to suffer those same issues due to the standards of the time, and repairs have been made. Thankfully those standards have been updated and improved and we haven't seen similar issues pop up again.
