Stony Creek, MI – The Michigan Department of Transportation will be closing US-23 from Arkona Road to Willis Road and Stony Creek Road at US-23 beginning Friday for Stony Creek Road bridge demolition and rebuilding.
The $69 million US-23 and US-12 improvement project includes new travel lanes on US-12 in both directions beginning just west of the Pittsfield Township police station and extending across US-23 to Carpenter Road, plus redesigned intersections and a new right-turn lane from eastbound US-12 to southbound Platt Road.
At the US-23/US-12 interchange, new loop ramps are being added in the northwest and southeast quadrants to eliminate left turns onto US-23.
An auxiliary lane is being added in both directions on US-23 between I-94 and US-12, and the acceleration/deceleration lanes south of US-12 are being extended.
The projects are scheduled to start Friday night, and should be completed by early November.
