M-46 Project Update – Businesses Open Despite Roadwork

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) construction project on M-19/M-46 is in full swing. While eastbound M-46 remains closed at the intersection, local businesses like Dairy Queen, Stoliker’s Designs, Yager Auto Parts, and Speedy Q are still accessible to customers. The community is urged to support these businesses during this period. Westbound M-46 traffic is unaffected, for now but that is set to come to an end this coming Monday. Work is set to begin on the Westbound portion of M-46 on April 8th and is scheduled through October 26, 2024. Eastbound construction will wrap up on November 15, 2024. Motorists traveling on M-19 should note the reduced 25 mph speed limit in the downtown area. MDOT has not yet announced a date for the closure of M-19.
