Turning Roads to Gravel

Thirty-eight counties in Michigan have returned paved roads to gravel, as of June 16, 2010.

Funding for Michigan’s county road and bridge system was last increased in 1997.  While
costs for salt and construction materials have skyrocketed in the last decade, transportation revenues have failed to keep pace.  Many agencies have seen revenues fall to levels at or
near their 1998 funding level.
