The project included culvert, guardrail, and curb-and-gutter replacement and was relevant to the mainland route used by Beaver Island travelers.
Evidence limits
The forum preserves an MDOT newsroom release, making the project description and planned dates stronger than an ordinary forum report. It remains a schedule notice rather than proof of final completion, traffic effects, or project cost.
