Construction

Yesterday I went through the intersection of Hill and Belsay in Grand Blanc and thought to myself how badly they need to put in a light there.

A home under construction in Richfield Township exploded in an accident yesterday. One man was injured in the blaze when neighbors rushed to help.

An accident happened this morning in Burton that caused a worker to be trapped underwater for almost 10 minutes. While installing a new water main, the pipe burst to cause the accident.

If you plan on using the highways in Genesee County tonight, you might want to read this. The ramps to northbound and southbound I-75 from I-69 eastbound will close tonight at 8 pm.

We all hate dealing with construction but it's what is needed to fix so many issues with Michigan roads.

As we approach the holiday weekend, many of us try to get the hell out of town. Sadly, summer in Michigan often leads to construction slow downs on the road. However, this weekend, MDOT is trying to make your holiday travels easier.

With the weather breaking, orange barrels are starting to spring up. If you are a regular traveler of I-75 or I-675 in Saginaw County, expect to see delays now through November.

With Spring right around the corner, the never ending battle to repair and fix roads in Michigan continues. Sure it may be inconvenient, but we wouldn't be able to go anywhere if they didn't try to fix the roads.

After an accident this summer that caused major damage to the bridge over US-23 on Lahring Road, crews will be closing down a portion of the road on Wednesday for repairs. Starting at 4 p.m., MDOT will be closing Lahring Road from North Road to Saint Andrews Way to replace the concrete barrier wall.

At the Genesee Township Hall last night, the Department of Transportation hosted an open house to get reactions from residents about changes to I-475. Some of the changes are simple, some are not.

Looks like parts of the University of Michigan is going to get some upgrades. Officials approved the construction and renovation on six projects at UofM campuses in Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint.

It sucks to deal with but it is much needed as the bridge on Belsay Road along I-69 in Burton will finally get a facelift.
