The Michigan State Flower: Road Cone

Here's the construction project on the main freeway I take to work. It doesn't look like a fun driving summer!
 
  • Reconstruct 3.25 miles of pavement on M-39 (Southfield Freeway) between M-10 (Lodge Freeway) in Southfield and McNichols Road in Detroit;
  • Replace freeway lighting from M-153 (Ford Road) to M-10 (Lodge Freeway) with LED lights;
  • Replace drainage system on freeway;
  • Construct a new screen wall between freeway and service drives;
  • Construct new barrier to correct erosion issue on freeway slopes;
  • Rehabilitate/replace 24 bridges on M-39 between 8 Mile Road in Detroit and Outer Drive in Allen Park;
  • Install new grass and native plantings to prevent erosion and improve the appearance of the corridor.

    I remember reading that Denver had so much highrise construction going on that they were considering changing the state bird to "Construction Crane"! hee hee
