Governor Whitmer Awards Grants to Fix the Damn Roads in 9 Communities Across the State

Statement

Governor Gretchen Whitmer today announced that the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is awarding nine state Transportation Economic Development Fund (TEDF) Category F grants to cities and road commissions to help rebuild local roads across Michigan.

"From day one, I've been laser-focused on fixing the damn roads and bridges," said Governor Gretchen Whitmer. "Today, I'm proud to announce nine local transportation economic development grants that will help rebuild important corridors in these communities. Road projects like these connect workers to jobs and provide important links for our communities. Since I took office, we have invested nearly $4.75 billion to repair, replace, or rehabilitate nearly 13,200 lane miles of road and 903 bridges, and we must do more. I will work with anyone to get the job done."
