Plaintiffs appeal from the Court of Claims’ order granting summary judgment for defendant Michigan Department of Transportation on plaintiffs’ claim of negligent highway design and construction and claim of nuisance. We affirm.
On July 19 1979, plaintiffs’ decedent, Rebecca Rogers, was struck by a truck owned by Quality Dairy at the intersection of Michigan Avenue and Creyts Road in Delta Township, Eaton County. Plaintiffs sued the Eaton County Road Commission and Quality Dairy in circuit court, and the Michigan Department of Transportation in the Court of Claims. In their case against the department, plaintiffs alleged negligent design and construction of a highway and nuisance. The negligent design and construction claim was brought pursuant to the highway liability statute, MCL 691.1402; MSA 3.996(102), the statutory exception to immunity for defective highways, which provides in relevant part:
Each governmental agency having jurisdiction over any highway shall maintain the highway in reasonable repair so that it is reasonably safe and convenient for public travel. Any person sustaining bodily injury or damage to his property by reason of failure of any governmental agency to keep any highway under its jurisdiction in reasonable repair, and in condition reasonably safe and fit for travel, may recover the damages suffered by him from such governmental agency. The liability, procedure and remedy as to county roads under the jurisdiction of a county road commission shall be as provided in section 21, chapter 4 of Act No. 283 of the Public Acts of 1909. [Emphasis added.]
*15The circuit court and Court of Claims cases were joined by the Court of Claims pursuant to MCL 600.6421; MSA 27A.6421. The department moved for accelerated judgment, which was denied, and later for summary judgment, which was granted. The Court of Claims granted the department’s motion for summary judgment pursuant to GCR 1963, 117.2(3), now MCR 2.116(0(10), finding that the department lacked jurisdiction over the highways in question, and dismissed plaintiffs’ entire complaint.
NEGLIGENCE CLAIM
Turning first to plaintiffs’ claim of negligent design and construction, we must consider whether summary judgment was appropriately granted on the ground that the department lacked jurisdiction over the highways in question. Summary judgment pursuant to GCR 1963, 117.2(3), now MCR 2.116(0(10), should be granted when there is no serious dispute as to any material facts and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Reeder v Hammond, 125 Mich App 223, 227; 336 NW2d 3 (1983). The Court of Claims found that these criteria were met, and granted summary judgment for the department.
From the sketchy facts and record provided by the parties on appeal, it appears that, some years prior to the accident in 1979, federal funds were requested and received by Eaton County for road construction, pursuant to the Federal-Aid Highways Act, 23 USC 101 et seq., which requires the participation of the state highway department in such construction. The limited record presented by both parties on appeal is unclear as to whether the federally-aided construction included either Creyts Road or Michigan Avenue, or both, or their inter*16section. Plaintiffs contend, based on deposition testimony of the engineer-manager of the Eaton County Road Commission (only cryptic parts of which are presented on appeal), that the construction included Michigan Avenue at the Creyts Road intersection where the accident occurred. The department does not dispute the fact that federal funds were involved in the construction of the intersection in question, but argues that federal funding does not by itself confer jurisdiction on the department and, if it does, such jurisdiction ended September 7, 1977.
With its motion for summary judgment the department attached an affidavit categorically stating that the highway in question was not a state highway but was and always had been an Eaton County highway. In rebuttal, plaintiffs submitted the deposition of the engineer-manager of the Eaton County Road Commission that upon receiving the federal aid the county was required to submit to the department the design and construction plans for preliminary review and final approval. At the construction stage, the department prepared bimonthly progress and inspection reports, and construction cost estimates. According to the engineer-manager, the department’s involvement continued until the final payment was made to the project’s contractor on September 7, 1977. He further testified that Creyts Road was always under county jurisdiction, and that Michigan Avenue was under county jurisdiction in and prior to 1976. He also testified that the later widening of Creyts Road at Michigan in 1979, the year of the accident, was paid for solely with county money.
In further support of its motion for summary judgment the department submitted the affidavit of Henry W. Thomas, establishment and abandon*17ment coordinator for the department, stating that he had custody and control of the records identifying which roads are under the jurisdiction of the department and which roads are under the jurisdiction of all counties and cities in Michigan and that such records disclose that the intersection in question in the instant suit was under the jurisdiction of Eaton County and was "in the same jurisdictional status on and before July 19, 1979.” However, the actual records and documents referred to in Thomas’ deposition were never presented to the court, nor did plaintiffs execute an affidavit stating that the records under Thomas’ control showed anything to the contrary.
Given the above-recited facts, and accepting as true everything recited in the deposition testimony of the Eaton County engineer-manager, and further accepting as true that the federally-aided construction included both Creyts Road and Michigan Avenue and their intersection,1 we cannot say that the Court of Claims erred in granting defendant’s motion for summary judgment. At best, if the department ever had jurisdiction over the intersection in question, it did so only because of the receipt of federal funds and only during the period the road was being designed and constructed. Construction ended upon final payment to the contractor September 7, 1977. The subsequent widening of Creyts Road and Michigan Avenue in 1979 was paid for solely with county money. Thus, based upon the affidavits and deposition testimony, at the time of the accident, jurisdiction rested solely with Eaton County. Nothing in plaintiffs’ deposition or affidavits reasonably suggests that at the time of the accident the *18department and the county maintained concurrent jurisdiction over the highway.
Thus, the question before us is not one of liability where jurisdiction is concurrent. Instead, it is a question whether liability extends to a governmental agency which during the period of design and construction of the highway had jurisdiction, but which at the time of the accident and for several years prior thereto did not have jurisdiction. On this issue, though not without dissent, our Court has repeatedly held that liability is limited to the governmental unit having jurisdiction over the road at the time of the injury. Bennett v City of Lansing, 52 Mich App 289; 217 NW2d 54 (1974), lv den 399 Mich 840 (1977); Austin v City of Romulus, 101 Mich App 662, 668-669; 300 NW2d 672 (1980), lv den 411 Mich 955 (1981); Potes v State Hwy Dep't 128 Mich App 765; 341 NW2d 210 (1983); Killeen v Dep’t of Transportation, 151 Mich App 7; 390 NW2d 676 (1986), lv gtd 426 Mich 864 (1986).
Both Potes and Killeen are factually similar to the instant case. In Potes, plaintiffs decedent died as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident on Ballenger Highway. Plaintiffs complaint alleged that the injuries were caused by the negligent design and construction of the highway at the time the road was under the jurisdiction of the state. However, at the time of the accident, jurisdiction was exclusively with Genesee County. Plaintiff maintained that the state remained liable for any design or construction defects created at the time, notwithstanding the fact that jurisdiction was subsequently transferred to the county. Our Court rejected this argument, stating:
In the same spirit, we view that statutory exception as parting the immunity curtain only as to *19the governmental unit having jurisdiction of the subject roadway at the time of the accident. Application of this rule is compatible with the language of MCL 224.21; MSA 9.121, which places the duty to keep county roads in reasonable repair exclusively upon the counties. See Mullins v Wayne County, 16 Mich App 365; 168 NW2d 246 (1969), lv den 382 Mich 791 (1969). To hold two governmental units responsible for correcting design or construction defects could result in confusion and inefficiency. [128 Mich App 769.]
Similarly, in Killeen, plaintiff alleged that in 1969 defendant had assumed jurisdiction over the highway in question in connection with the design and construction of the 1-69 and 1-75 interchange. Defendant moved for summary judgment asserting that at the time of the accident, November 4, 1980, and for several years prior thereto, the repair and maintenance of the highway had been under the sole jurisdiction of Genesee County. Relying on Potes, the trial court granted summary judgment for defendant. This Court affirmed, stating:
Contrary to the clear words of the statute that liability is imposed on governmental agencies which fail "to keep any highway under its jurisdiction in reasonable repair,” the dissent argues that liability extends to a governmental agency which some time in the past had jurisdiction. We don’t construe the statute that broadly. Had the Legislature intended to impose liability on governmental units which at one time had jurisdiction over a highway but did not have such jurisdiction at the time of the accident, the Legislature could easily have worded the statute to read "failure ... to keep any highway which at any time was under its jurisdiction in reasonable repair.” [151 Mich App 11-12.]
On appeal plaintiffs argue that Potes is distin*20guishable because in that case it was undisputed that at the time of the accident the highway was under the jurisdiction of the county, whereas in the instant case a question of fact exists as to whether there may be concurrent jurisdiction. However, as described earlier, the deposition testimony of the engineer-manager of the county road commission unequivocally admitted that the state had no involvement with the roadway after final payment was made on the construction project September 7, 1977. Thus, the situation in the instant case is no different than that in Potes. In neither case did a question of fact exist as to the possibility of concurrent jurisdiction at the time of the accident.
Plaintiffs also argue that Potes is poorly decided and is contrary to Hargis v Dearborn Heights, 34 Mich App 594; 192 NW2d 44 (1971). According to plaintiffs Hargis is better reasoned and should control since it would be illogical and contrary to legislative intent to allow a governmental agency to defectively design an intersection and thereafter be relieved of the obligation to correct the defects or from any liability for its original negligent conduct. The identical argument was made by plaintiff in Killeen and was soundly rejected by the majority opinion of this Court which stated:
The argument that two authorities could, for purposes of determining liability for an unsafe highway, both have jurisdiction over the road was rejected in Austin v Romulus, 101 Mich App 662; 300 NW2d 672 (1980), lv den 411 Mich 955 (1981). Similar results have been reached in Furness v Public Service Comm, 100 Mich App 365; 299 NW2d 35 (1980), Summerville v Kalamazoo Road Comm’rs, 77 Mich App 580; 259 NW2d 206 (1977), lv den 402 Mich 924 (1978); Bennett v Lansing, 52 Mich App 289; 217 NW2d 54 (1974), lv den 399 Mich 840 (1977).
*21For similar reasons we disagree with plaintiff that Hargis v Dearborn Heights, 34 Mich App 594; 192 NW2d 44 (1971), lv den 386 Mich 751 (1971), should control. . . . Further, we conclude that to the extent that Hargis conflicts with Potes, Hargis is rejected. [151 Mich App 12.]
We further note that the argument advanced by plaintiffs in the instant case is substantially the rationale in Judge Giovan’s comprehensive dissenting opinion in Killeen. However, this was not the opinion of the majority.2 Accordingly, we find no error in the trial court’s disposition of plaintiff’s claim for negligence.
NUISANCE CLAIM
Plaintiffs next contend that the Court of Claims erred in granting defendant’s motion for summary judgment on plaintiffs’ nuisance claim at the hearing on the motion on the ground that nuisance in avoidance of immunity had not been sufficiently pled. At the hearing on the department’s motion for summary judgment, the Court of Claims opined from the bench that, with respect to the nuisance claim, plaintiffs had failed to adequately plead nuisance in avoidance of immunity and stated that it would grant the department’s motion for summary judgment, presumably pursuant to GCR 1963, 117.2(1), now MCR 2.116(C)(8).
We agree with the Court of Claims that plaintiffs failed to adequately plead a claim of nuisance in avoidance of immunity against the department. Plaintiffs’ first amended complaint alleged merely:
11. That Defendant, Michigan Department of Transportation, by its design and construction of *22said intersection, created a dangerous condition constituting a nuisance, thereby breaching its common law duties.
12. That Defendant, Michigan Department of Transportation, failed to take any steps whatsoever to correct this nuisance.
We find that these allegations do not adequately plead a claim of nuisance per se or intentional nuisance in avoidance of the department’s immunity. Pate v Dep’t of Transportation, 127 Mich App 130; 339 NW2d 3 (1983). Thus the Court of Claims did not err in granting the department’s motion for summary judgment on plaintiffs nuisance claim.
Affirmed. No costs, a public question being involved.
T. Gillespie, J., concurred.As noted earlier, the record is unclear whether the federal funds received actually covered the intersection where the accident in the instant case occurred.
The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal in Killeen by order dated October 22, 1986. 426 Mich 864. Briefs are due January 7, 1987.
