Condition of Michigan roads, highways continues improving

February 26, 2002

Michigan’s Transportation Team released a report Monday detailing the status of Michigan’s roads and bridges.

The report found roads had generally improved over the past 10 years, both in quality and safety.

More people are using Michigan roads, but a $1.2 billion increase in state and federal funding over the past five years has prevented the roads from degrading, according to the report.

Students can see such repairs this summer on Interstate 96 and Michigan Highway 43.

The amount of motor vehicle fatalities has decreased since 1995 by 10 percent, according to the report.
