Macomb County Announces $163M In Road Improvements

Mt. Clemens, MI - The Macomb County Department of Roads (MCDR) announced plans for the 2023 construction season, which includes more than $163 million in reconstruction, rehabilitation and infrastructure improvements throughout Macomb County.

“From major reconstruction and rehabilitation to enhancing the safety and efficiency of our roadways, these projects are critical to the transportation infrastructure needs of our region,” said Macomb County Executive Mark A. Hackel. “There isn’t a road or bridge we can’t fix if we have adequate funding. We will continue to advocate for additional state and federal funding to ensure the more than $2 billion dollars in road improvements needed across Macomb County are resolved."

The construction program includes 20 primary and local road projects and five bridges and culverts, in addition to more than 20 asphalt resurfacing and concrete pavement repair projects as part of MCDR’s county-wide pavement preservation program. Work planned includes five township residential streets as part of MCDR’s subdivision reconstruction program, which provides funding assistance to townships for residential and subdivision roads.

The Department of Roads also has multiple maintenance projects, traffic improvement projects and traffic technology and communication network modernizations planned for this year.

“The Department of Roads takes a comprehensive and strategic approach to managing Macomb County’s transportation network,” said MCDR Director Bryan Santo. “Through a mix of preventative maintenance, rehabilitation, reconstruction work and traffic improvements, Macomb County will see significant work this year that will strengthen and enhance our roads, bridges and transportation infrastructure.”

To help Macomb County motorists and road users navigate local construction work, MCDR launched the Macomb Work Zone – a weekly email built to keep motorists informed and up to date of what's happening on the roadways.
