The Michigan Department of Transportation received a $212,472 Formula Grant award from the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration on June 1, 2022. The grant was awarded under the Highway Planning and Construction federal grant program (CFDA 20.205) to modernize an existing diagonal bridge span to a box span configuration and install flashing yellow arrow left turn phasing and countdown pedestrian signals at the intersection of M-20 and 215th Avenue in Big Rapids Township, Mecosta County, Michigan. Wireless detection will be used for side street and left turn phasing, and countdown pedestrian signals with pushbuttons will be installed on the north and west crossings.
