*Governor Whitmer Continues to Fix the Damn Roads with a Project Starting* *This Week in Berrien County* 

 

*LANSING, Mich. **—*  Today, Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced that the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will begin a road project this week in Berrien County. This project includes repaving one mile of US-12 and is estimated to support eight jobs.  

 

“Across Michigan, we are moving dirt and fixing the damn roads to drive economic activity, help Michiganders go to work, drop their kids off at school, and run errands safely,” said *Governor Whitmer*. “Through the end of this construction season, we will have fixed, repaired, or replaced nearly 23,000 lane miles of state-owned roads and 1,600 bridges since I took office, supporting 89,000 jobs without raising taxes by a dime. Let’s roll up our sleeves and keep getting things done.”
