Governor Gretchen Whitmer for Governor issued the following announcement on Mar. 2.
Dealing with car damage from driving over potholes while on your way to work or school is frustrating for every Michigander. No one should have to spend their hard-earned money on repairing a flat tire or a broken axle caused by these potholes.
That’s why, I’m issuing an executive directive telling state agencies to speed up fixing potholes. This action directs MDOT to use overtime pay to get this done and partner with the public to locate potholes in their area.
When I said we're fixing the damn roads, I meant it. Since I took office, Michigan has fixed 13,000 lane miles of road and more than 900 bridges; but there's more to do. This directive will help us get it done.
