As it turns out, the federal government will pay for the bulk of work undertaken by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) to reconstruct a 2.2-mile stretch of state highway linking Leelanau and Grand Traverse counties.
Included in the design is construction of a roundabout at the busiest intersection in the county where M-72 splits from M-22 in Greilickville.
MDOT announced this week that it will receive $14.4 million from the Rural Surface Transportation Grant program. The project, which has been years in planning, now has a $19 million price tag with work scheduled during the 2025 construction season.
