5/27/14 - Anyone traveling along M-59 near Hacker Road in the Hartland/Howell area can expect to see orange barrels all summer long and M-DOT is reminding them to use caution. The Michigan Department of Transportation is constructing a center left-turn lane on M-59 at Hacker Road, west of US-23. Crews recently installed a median concrete barrier wall and the current traffic shift will be in place throughout the summer. M-DOT spokeswoman Kari Arend says generally, one lane in each direction of M-59 will always be maintained to help traffic flow. She tells WHMI although it is a short stretch, motorists are advised to slow down and be conscious of workers nearby. The project is estimated for completion at the end of September. (JM)
