US-31 detour in Petoskey to start April 2
After delays due to a longer and harsher winter
than expected, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is scheduled to begin work on US-31 and the Mitchell Street bridge in Petoskey on Wednesday, April 2.
Work has now begun beneath the Mitchell Street bridge on the substructure, to be followed by construction on US-31 between Liberty Street and the Mitchell Street bridge. This work will require starting the detour of southbound US-31 traffic on Lake Street and Ingalls Avenue beginning April 2. Northbound US-31 traffic will remain on US-31.
The project includes resurfacing and rebuilding US-31 from US-131 to the Mitchell Street bridge, median construction, traffic signal work, bridge railing reconstruction, and bridge deck repairs. The entire project investment is expected to be $3.5 million. During construction, access will be maintained to businesses within the project limits. Access to McLaren Northern Michigan Hospital will be maintained at all times, and additional signs will be placed directing motorists to the hospital.
