Dillman Outlines U P Highway Progress and Plans
Grover C. Dillman state highway commissioner spoke at the Upper Peninsula Development bureau meeting in Houghton. He traced Michigan’s highway evolution from no system in 1913 to a regional network serving 15 counties, highlighted tourist traffic growth, and urged continued funding shifts toward user fees and maintenance. Major UP projects include US-2 routes from St Ignace to Sault Ste Marie and Escanaba to Spalding, with an emphasis on local labor and low cost surface solutions.
