Long-term construction begins in Monroe County

Posted: Updated:

Beginning today, construction will resume both on US 23 and US 24 in Monroe County. 

On US 23, from Sterns Road to US 223, reconstruction, pavement repair, and roundabout additions will be underway. Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will start the project by placing a barrier wall along NB US 23, which will require single lane closures in both directions.  Motorists will be shifted onto the southbound side. This traffic shift will last until May.

Mid-March, construction will begin on US 223. MDOT will close the entrance ramp to SB US-23 for a period of 2 weeks.

Also beginning today, MDOT will resume construction on Telegraph Road. Crews will resurface and widen the road to 5 lanes between Stewart Road and LaSalle Road. Traffic will shift to the west side of US 24, for the removal of pavement and water main work which will happen on the east side of the road.
