5/9/14 - Orange barrels are popping up now and come Monday, theyâll be greeting drivers on M-59 in the Howell area. The Michigan Department of Transportation will start work Monday to construct a center left-turn lane at Hacker Road and M-59 near Howell. All next week, one lane will be open under flag control on M-59 between Musson Road and Cullen Road. That will allow crews to install concrete barrier wall and temporary pavement markings for installation of a traffic shift. Lane restrictions will take place between 9am and 3pm each day. M-DOT says once the traffic shift is in place, one lane of traffic will be open in each direction on M-59. Traffic will be shifted to the south side of the roadway while crews build the center left-turn lane at Hacker Road. The project is estimated for completion at the end of September. (JM)
