LMAO!!! My husband's Daughter is in Public Relations, and one account she works on is for the Michigan "Pure Michigan" account.....
Like i said...."Pure Michigan".
Quality checks worked. A $300,000 mistake though. Yikes.
Yeah and the contractor paid for the mistake. At least they admitted the mistake before the road was finished.

It's pure michigan.
I said the same thing about the truck vibrating as I entered Michigan from Indiana on 94. Of course, it sounded more like Pyuyuyure Miyiyichiyiyigayan,
Every time I see the sign I think, "Pure Michigan. Yeah. A Land Built on Ontario Garbage."
They need to get the 696 project done before winter, but they have 2 1/2 more months of work. Going to be tight.
If not done now 2024 !!! Cows would be grazing. No roadway would be left to travel.

Looks like most of the work now is being completed on the shoulders and exit ramps east of Hoover rd to Gratiot.
I give Michigan credit, at least they, for the most part, rip the whole road out and start fresh. This does not apply to the last/first 15 miles of 75..lol I run the left lane to/from the state line balls to the wall. The only smooth lane left..
But what's up with the 75 south of Dayton? I bet construction workers have retired from that never ending project. No excuse for it taking that long.

Ohio hired Chicago construction companies.
