Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed Executive Directive 2022-2, directing the Department of Transportation to speed up pothole repairs on state trunkline highways. It calls on the department to use all available resources, including overtime pay and contracted services, to expedite repair of road surface, as well as ensure the public can easily report the location of potholes or other issues. Additionally, it directs the department to ensure timely disbursements of Michigan Transportation Fund dollars to local road agencies to ensure local authorities have the resources they need to repair potholes and other road surface deterioration. Lastly, it directs the Michigan State Police to provide work zone enforcement and other needed support for road crews working on road surface repair projects.
