SAGINAW, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will move to the next stage of a $26.4 million investment to rebuild and improve M-46 and M-19 in Sandusky, Sanilac County. As a part of the next stage, M-46 will reopen between Maple Valley and Delaware streets. The rebuilding of the M-46 and Maple Valley/Dawson Street intersection will begin at that time.
Work on this investment includes rebuilding M-46 in the city of Sandusky, replacing storm sewer, upgrading traffic signals, replacing curbs, upgrading sidewalks, and safety improvements, as well as improving M-19 in the city of Sandusky. In 2025, work will begin on resurfacing M-46 from the Sandusky east city limit to the Carsonville west village limit and replacing the M-46 bridge over the Black River.
