Those who commute from suburban communities to downtown Detroit will appreciate that about $400 million was granted to Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and St. Clair counties for state road and bridge repair.
The Michigan Department of Transportation plans to rehabilitate 1,490 miles of pavement statewide and 185 bridges in 2003. The statewide project will total $1.2 billion.
The plans for 2003 mark the sixth consecutive year that more than $1 billion has been consumed by road and bridge repair.
