6/13/13 - A construction project on M-59 is scheduled to start this weekend in Hartland Township and projected to last throughout the summer and into the fall. The Michigan Department of Transportation will resurface a section of M-59 between Oakway Drive to just west of Old US-23 and a center left-turn lane will be added near Kellogg Road. Starting this weekend, there will be one lane open under flag control between Argentine and Musson Roads for widening work. Crews will widen the south side of M-59, as well as upgrade shoulders, in order to install a center left-turn lane at Kellogg Road. M-DOT Spokeswoman Kari Arend tells WHMI motorists should plan extra time when traveling in the area, due to the upcoming lane closures and flagging operations. Once paving on M-59 starts later this summer, one lane will be open under flag control from 9am to 3pm on weekdays, and on weekends during daylight hours. No work will take place during special events, including the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest in Howell at the end of the month. M-DOT is looking to have all of the construction completed by November.
