*PHOTOS: Lt. Gov. Gilchrist Tours Progress on I-69 as Administration Continues to Fix the Damn Roads, Visits Croswell City Waste Water Plant* 

 

*LANSING, Mich. -- *Today, Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II toured the Rebuilding Michigan project on I-69 in Lapeer County and the Croswell water treatment plant as the state continues to invest in rebuilding infrastructure in Michigan. Project managers and local officials joined the lieutenant governor to highlight state investments that are rebuilding infrastructure and investing in communities across Michigan.  

 

“Since taking office, Governor Whitmer and I have made historic investments in infrastructure in communities across our state,” said *Lt. Governor Gilchrist*. “Our investments on I-69 in Lapeer County and Croswell in Sanilac County will grow economic opportunity, support industry, and help make these communities great places to live, work, raise a family, or start a business. Governor Whitmer and I are committed to reversing decades of disinvestment and building a brighter future for Michigan.” 

 

The Michigan Department of Transportation recently began its second year of construction along the I-69 corridor in Lapeer County. This work is part of an overall $54.5 million investment through the Rebuilding Michigan bonding program to rebuild more than seven miles of I-69 from M-24 to Lake George Road. In 2022, crews rebuilt the westbound lanes of I-69. The project’s estimated end date is October 2023, and directly and indirectly supports 686 jobs.

In Croswell, the state is supporting $20 million worth of upgrades to a wastewater treatment plant with a $10.1 million matching grant from the State Revolving Fund. The upgrades will double the plant’s water flows, benefitting industries and residents in Croswell.

*Rebuilding Michigan’s Infrastructure*    

Through the end of this construction season, Governor Whitmer and Lt. Governor Gilchrist will have fixed, repaired, or replaced nearly 20,000 lane miles of road and 1,400 bridges, supporting more than 89,000 jobs without raising taxes by a dime. These and future repairs are made possible by the Rebuilding Michigan plan [ [link removed] ], a five-year, $3.5 billion investment in our highways and bridges, and the bipartisan Building Michigan Together Plan [ [link removed] ], the largest one-time investment in Michigan's infrastructure in state history. Governor Whitmer’s recent budget recommendation allocates $3.9 billion toward our state’s roads and bridges, and $200 million to replace or rehabilitate bridges across the state. These strategic investments in Michigan's infrastructure ensure that future Michiganders will have safer roads, bridges, and water systems.
