Warranty work to be performed on I-75

One of the biggest complaints (not exclusive, however) we have had with the MDoT is it’s mishandling of warranty needs.

I believe they want to make sure we see something being handled.  From The MDoT Pravda:

I-75 warranty repairs north of Grayling start Monday

COUNTY:Crawford

HIGHWAY:I-75

CLOSEST CITY: Grayling

ESTIMATED STARTING DATE: Monday, May 9, 2016

ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE:  Friday, May 20, 2016 (weather dependent)

PROJECT:

Contractors for the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will be making warranty pavement repairs and sealing cracks on 5.5 miles of northbound I-75 from north of Grayling Exit 254 to north of Hartwick Pines Road Exit 259. This work will be done at the expense of the contractor.

TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS:                     

This work will require lane closures with traffic shifts.

The next project might be to figure out what to do about THIS.

ACTION ALERT! — Urgently need your immediate help on two fronts:

I learned today that the House Military and Veterans Affairs Commitee will hold a public hearing this Thursday, May 5th, on House Bill 5376, legislation I introduced — in response to the Islamic terrorist attack which killed five unarmed U.S. military personnel at a recruiting office in Chatanooga — to require that at least one soldier on duty be armed at all times at every National Guard facility in Michigan that’s accessible by the public.

HB 5376 is cosponsored by eighteen Republicans and eight Democrats, including every member of the Military and Veterans Affairs Committee of both parties with one exception, a new Democratic state representative who was elected in the March 8th special election and wasn’t in office when I gathered cosponsors.
