A road project begins today in Baraga County near L’Anse and Covington.
The Michigan Department of Transportation is investing about $3 million to resurface a total of nearly 16 miles of US-41 from M-28 to Mead Road and US-141 from the Iron County line 4.5 miles north.
The project also includes asphalt joint repairs and construction of a snowplow turnaround near Baraga Plains Road.
This project has a three-year pavement performance warranty.
MDOT says this project will result in a smoother driving surface and increased safety, and will extend the lifespan of the roadway.
During the work, one lane will be open in alternating directions under flag control.
Work is expected to be completed in early August.
