roads

Dear Friend,

Last week, thousands of hardworking construction industry professionals rallied at the Capitol to remind legislators that without a roads deal, high-quality, high paying jobs are at risk.

We’ve come a long way on Michigan’s roads. Since I took office, crews have fixed, repaired, or replaced nearly *24,500* lane miles of road and* 1,900 bridges*—and they’ll keep at it through the end of this construction season—supporting thousands of good-paying, local jobs along the way.

However, without a new roads plan, we cannot finish the job of fixing the damn roads. If we don't pass a long-term, sustainable roads plan, we risk losing the workers and resources we need to fix them.

The state legislature needs to act.

We need a long-term, bipartisan road funding plan so we can keep fixing our highways and step up work on the local roads that Michiganders drive every day.

Let's protect good-paying jobs, invest in our workforce, and fix the damn roads for good.

Sincerely,

Gretchen Whitmer

Governor

Make Your Voice Heard

I urge Republicans and Democrats to work together to come up with a roads plan to keep fixing our roads. I look forward to working with Speaker Hall, Majority Leader Brinks, and others in the state legislature to find a commonsense solution. Both parties will have to compromise to get this done right, and that’s the way it ought to be.
