DAVISON, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is preparing to enter the second phase of a $33.3 million project to improve and repair bridges along I-69 in Genesee and Shiawassee counties.

Improvements are being made to 15 structures on I-69 between I-75 and Morrish Road in Genesee County, as well as two additional structures near Sheridan Road in Shiawassee County. Work includes resurfacing, partial deck replacements, steel repairs, guardrails and approach work.

Counties:
Genesee
Shiawassee

Highway:
I-69

Closest communities:
Flint
Swartz Creek

Start date:
Monday, Aug. 3, 2026

End date:
November 2026

Project End Date:
October 2027

Traffic Restrictions:
Westbound I-69 traffic will be shifted onto eastbound I-69 with a traffic crossover. The left lane of eastbound I-69 will be used to accommodate westbound traffic.

The westbound I-69 ramps at Miller Road will be closed during this work. Detours for westbound I-69 will use Bristol Road, Miller Road and Morrish Road.

Jobs numbers:
Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to directly and indirectly support 282 jobs.

Safety Benefit:
Closing lanes during this type of work is necessary to provide the safest work area possible for crews and motorists. The planned bridge work will extend the overall services lives of these structures, providing drivers with a much smoother ride.
