MDOT Launches $1.7 Million Road Resurfacing Project Across Calhoun and St. Joseph Counties
MDOT begins $1.7 million resurfacing project on M-60, M-86 and M-99 in Calhoun and St. Joseph counties, with single-lane closures expected through July.
Construction crews began Monday on a $1.7 million road resurfacing project spanning three state highways in Calhoun and St. Joseph counties.
The Michigan Department of Transportation announced the project would repave 5.5 miles of highway and improve one carpool lot across four communities in the region.
What Roads Are Being Repaved
The project includes work on three state routes:
- 1.1 miles of M-86 from Nottawa Street to Shimmel Road in Centreville
- 3.6 miles of M-60 from Glendale Avenue to Main Street in Burlington
- 0.8 miles of M-99 from Powers Street to M-60 (Leigh Street) in Homer
- The Tekonsha carpool lot
Construction Timeline and Traffic Impact
Work begins April 13 and is expected to conclude July 17, according to MDOT.
The project will require single-lane closures throughout the construction zone. Drivers should expect delays as crews complete milling, asphalt overlay, and new pavement markings.
Investment Details
The $1.7 million investment includes:
- Resurfacing the roadway with new asphalt
- Milling existing pavement
- Installing new pavement markings
- Upgrading sidewalks with ADA-compliant ramp improvements
MDOT estimates the project will directly and indirectly support 14 jobs based on economic modeling.
Safety Benefits
The new pavement and pavement markings will improve ride quality and lane visibility for drivers. Sidewalk ramp upgrades will improve accessibility for pedestrians.
Contractor
Lakeland Asphalt Corp. is performing the work across all four sites.

This project is part of the 2026 Michigan road construction season. Governor Gretchen Whitmer designated the start of the construction season last week and promised nearly $2 billion in road repairs across the state.
This week, drivers should also watch for closures on:
- U.S. 24 and U.S. 12 in Wayne County
- U.S. 31 in Grand Traverse County
- M-50 in Jackson County
- U.S. 10 and U.S. 31 in Mason County
- M-46 in Muskegon County
MDOT maintains a complete construction list online for updated information on all road projects.
Regional Impact
The project affects residents in Burlington, Centreville, Homer and Tekonsha. Single-lane closures will impact through-traffic, but local access and business access will be maintained.
Drivers are reminded to slow down and follow posted signage in work zones. All projects are weather-dependent.
