June 23, 2021 -- A detour for westbound M-80 is planned for utility work starting today.

Under a permit from the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), crews will be performing water main repairs, requiring the closure of westbound M-80 at Meehan Street in Kincheloe, Chippewa County. Westbound traffic will be detoured on Meehan Street to Curtis Street, then Water Tower Drive to Kincheloe Street and back to M-80. Eastbound traffic will remain on M-80.

The closure will go into effect later today, June 23. The detour is expected to be lifted by Thursday, June 24.
