LANSING (WKZO)– A new county by county evaluation of Michigan’s roads may have some surprising news if you drive in Kalamazoo and in surrounding communities.

The Transportation Asset Management Council study shows that Kalamazoo County has the best road system in the Lower Penninsula, if not the entire state.

Only 16% of the roads in Kalamazoo County are rated in poor condition.

In Van Buren County that number is over 40%. In the worst county, Ionia, its over 60%.
