We have a look at crumbling roads in each of Michigan's 83 counties.
In today’s newsletter, the PFAS safety level for drinking water is lowered by the EPA, a plan for a Muskegon-area casino is rejected by Gov. Whitmer and thousands of gallon of oil spill into the Flint River. |
You know the state bird and the state flower. But how about a state grain? |
Michigan's state bird is the American robin. The state flower is the apple blossom. While a good number of Michiganders are familiar with those state symbols, there are plenty of others. We would be impressed if you have the whole list memorized. If you want the info on all the symbols, check out this detailed piece. There could be another symbol added to the list soon. How about a state grain? A bill making its way through the Michigan legislature could give that title to Manoomin, also known as Michigan wild rice. The rice is important to many wetlands and culturally significant to the state’s Indigenous tribes. We'll let you know if the addition of a state grain is approved, so you can update your personal knowledge on state symbols.

Want to see the worst-rated roads in your Michigan county? We have a look at all 83. |
The state's worst roads: Michigan roads are rated on a scale of 1 to 10. The lower the number, the worse the road's condition. We have a look at the roads with the worst ratings in each of Michigan's 83 counties. You can even search for specific roads or communities using our database. Not every county has a road rated a 1: Less than 1% of Michigan’s road miles evaluated in 2021 were rated a 1. Of Michigan’s 83 counties, 62 have at least one road with the lowest rating. In 20 counties, the worst-rated road was a 2. And in Luce County in the Upper Peninsula, the lowest-rated road was a 3. Flooding causes issues in the Porkies: The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is reporting flooding on many of the roads in and out of Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. |
