The Five-Year Transportation Program, or 5YTP, contains a list of planned projects for the Michigan Department of Transportation Highway Program, which includes state-maintained roads, bridges and facilities, as well as information on public transportation, rail, and aeronautics programs.
An online interactive map shows numerous West Michigan road projects over the next 5 years, including improvements to I-96 between Fruitport and Muskegon, a stretch of 28th Street between Wyoming and Kentwood, and continued work on US-131 between Belmont and Comstock Park.
Highlights of his year’s 5YTP include $10.6 billion in highway projects focused on repairing and rebuilding MDOT roads and bridges, $3.6 billion for the Public Transportation Program including local and intercity buses and freight and passenger railways, and $1 billion for aeronautics, focusing on federal, state and local aviation programs.
The 5YTP is required to be delivered to the Michigan Legislature by March 1st, 2025, and aids in the development of the annual state budget.
The public can comment on the 5YTP from now until September 3rd of this year. You can find the plan at Michigan.gov/MDOT5YearProgram
