St. Ignace
ESTIMATED STARTING DATE:
Monday, Sept. 28, 2020
ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE:
Thursday, Oct. 15, 2020
PROJECT:
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is investing about $200,000 to build a new portable intermittent weigh station (PITWS) at the northbound I-75 St. Ignace Welcome Center. A PITWS is a set of depressions designed for placement of portable scales to weigh commercial vehicles. When PITWS are unavailable, blocks must be placed under vehicles by an officer to align the axles. Installing a PITWS greatly reduces labor and time to weigh a vehicle.
