PORTION OF SOUTH SAGINAW ROAD CLOSED

FOR CONSTRUCTION STARTING THURSDAY

Beginning Thursday, August 5, South Saginaw Road from Waldo/Gordonville Road to the south line of Midland County will be closed to through traffic for a Midland County Road Commission (MCRC) project to remove and replace the existing pavement and re-establish gravel shoulders. Access will be provided for local residents and businesses within the construction limits.

MCRC has established a detour for South Saginaw Road traffic using Waldo Road, Salzburg Road and Flajole/Gleaner Road. As the detour route includes portions of Saginaw County, please note that South Saginaw Road becomes Midland Road when entering Saginaw County.

It is estimated that the project will be completed in approximately four to five weeks.

With the 2004 construction season well underway, motorists are encouraged to sign up for weekly and last-minute construction updates by subscribing to City Hall News on the City of Midland website at www.midland-mi.org under the e-news heading. Motorists may also check the construction page on the City of Midland website for construction detour maps and details. Look for this on the City of Midland website under the “What’s New” heading.
