A visit from Brad Wieferich, director of MDOT’s Bureau of Development
This week’s guest:
Brad Wieferich, director of MDOT’s Bureau of Development, which includes the design, real estate and permits sections. Wieferich talks about the cost of road-building materials and the process of estimating construction projects.
He also talks about MDOT’s robust asset management program and addresses two other perennial questions:
— Do Michigan road builders use the best materials?
— Why does it seem a road that saw work recently is under construction again?
