M-66 culvert replacement starts Monday in southern Mecosta County

Posted About Eleven Months Ago by Brandon Wirth

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is investing approximately $3 million to replace two aged culverts on M-66 between County Line Road and 2 Mile Road in southern Mecosta County.

According to MDOT, the project near Six Lakes is slated to begin on Monday, July 10 and will be completed around October.

M-66 will be closed and detoured using N. County Line Road, Costabella Avenue (W. County Line Road) and M-20. Local traffic will be maintained at all times.

Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to directly and indirectly support about 36 jobs.

The new culverts have a higher capacity and will replace the original structures from the 1920s.

For up-to-date traffic information on this project and others throughout the state, go to www.Michigan.gov/Drive.
