US 31 construction scheduled to begin Monday; highway traffic to be detoured.

GRANT TOWNSHIP — Road construction on US 31 from Hoague Road to north of the Mason/Manistee counties line will begin on Monday, April 18. During the course of the project a total closure will be in place on US-31 between Hoague Road and Fox Farm Road. Northbound traffic will be detoured west on Hoague Road, north on Quaterline Road, east on County Line Road, north on Maple Road and east on Fox Farm road to US-31. Southbound traffic will follow the reverse.

The start date of the $2.4 million Michigan Department of Transportation project is dependent on review of seasonal frost conditions along the detour route. Conditions will be continually evaluated throughout this week. Project completion date is scheduled for Friday, July 1, 2022.
