Bridges across Michigan in need of critical funding, report says (WOOD TV, 9/5/24)
- MITA Mention: Lance Binoniemi with Michigan Infrastructure and Transportation and Association said while Governor Whitmer’s $3.5 billion Rebuilding Michigan bond program that was approved in 2020 is helping, more needs to be done. “We really need to invest in these bridges before we do have to close them down. This problem won’t go away and the longer we wait, the more expensive it becomes,” said Binoniemi.
