This summer will be no different.
There will be multiple Michigan Department of Transportation projects at the state level that will begin and be completed in Osceola and Wexford counties during the 2021 construction season. There are no MDOT projects in Missaukee County or Lake County in 2021. Some of the projects that motorists will encounter will start soon.

MDOT PROJECTS IN LAKE AND OSCEOLA COUNTIES
MDOT Cadillac Transportation Service Center Manager Del Kirkby said the only remaining project in 2021 in Osceola County is the asphalt resurfacing of M-66 from 21 Mile Road (just north of Marion) north to just inside Missaukee County. This $729,000 project is anticipated to begin about the second week of August and will be mostly finished by mid-September, according to Kirkby.
The Michigan Department of Transportation has changed a portion of a current construction project in Manistee County.
Recently, MDOT said all permitted loads have been changed to no permitted loads on M-55 over the Manistee River Bridge in Manistee County. The project was started to replace the M-55 bridge over the Manistee River northeast of Manistee. MDOT is in the process of replacing the M-55 bridge over the Manistee River.
The work also requires a detour that will remain in place throughout construction and will use M-55, Stronach Road and U.S. 31.
MDOT also is currently doing one other bridge project in Osceola County near Reed City.
