The project is expected to start this fall. Work will include resurfacing, road, curb and gutter repairs, and improvements to make sidewalks and ramps compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This project also will involve a conversion from four lanes to three lanes.

Public input is being sought to help MDOT recognize and address any concerns regarding this proposed work.
