A year of research found the state is facing an annual shortfall close to $3.9 billion to fix Michigan’s deteriorating roads and bridges. The original estimate in 2016 came in at $2.2 billion.

The new report stated a lack of funding is a contributor. Michigan has not been able to maintain state standards of keeping roads at 90% good and fair condition.
