GAYLORD, Mich. -The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will invest $667,746 to make permanent repairs to the washout area and build a retaining wall to reinforce the slope beneath M-119 near Harrison Street in Harbor Springs.
County:
Emmet
Highway:
M-119
Closest city:
Harbor Springs
Start date:
Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2024
Estimated end date:
Friday, Oct. 25, 2024
Traffic restrictions:
During construction, all M-119 traffic will be detoured via State Street and West Lake Street.
Jobs numbers:
Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to directly and indirectly support eight jobs.
Project background:
The shoulder of M-119 washed away following an intense rainstorm in September 2022. The washout also undermined a portion of the highway pavement and guardrail supports in the area.
While MDOT made initial temporary repairs to the roadway, southbound M-119 traffic has remained detoured on Lake Street and State Street as a precaution.
