Huron County’s M-142 is among ten projects MDOT will begin today, according to Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Starting today, MDOT will close M-142 to through-traffic from M-53 to M-19 in Bad Axe during the $5.2 million improvement project, which includes roadway resurfacing, sanitary sewer and water main work. The roadway will also be widened for the addition of a center left-turn lane from Nugent Road to a half-mile east. This project is expected to support 74 jobs and last until August of this year.
During the work, M-142 will be closed to through-traffic within the project limits. Local traffic and access to homes and businesses will be maintained on eastbound M-142 while westbound through-traffic will be detoured via Carpenter Road and Learman Road to M-53. The intersection of M-142, M-19 and Carpenter Road will be converted into an all-way stop, starting April 1 and remain this way for the remainder of the project.
