WAKEFIELD — The Michigan Department of Transportation is investing about $1.4 million to resurface 5.2 miles of U.S. 2 from Wakefield east in Gogebic County.

Work includes hot mix asphalt cold milling and resurfacing, crack filling, surface seal, shoulder aggregate, and pavement markings. This project includes a three-year pavement performance warranty.

The work is expected to be completed on Aug. 30.

Motorists should expect intermittent single-lane closures with traffic shifts. A lane width restriction of 12 feet will be in place during the project.

This work will extend the lifespan of the pavement and will result in a smoother driving surface and increased safety for motorists.
