SOUTH SAGINAW ROAD CLOSED ON MONDAY

On Monday, August 30, South Saginaw Road will be closed to traffic south of Mark Putnam Road for work being performed by The Dow Chemical Company on their product transfer pipelines, which cross South Saginaw Road. This work involves cleaning the exterior of existing pipelines and trusses with the use of high pressure water.

The road closure is expected to begin at approximately 8:00 a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m. on Monday.

Southbound traffic will be detoured via Mark Putnam Road, Schuette Road, Waldo Avenue and Salzburg Street. Northbound traffic will be detoured via Salzburg Street, Waldo Avenue and Bay City Road.

All Dow Chemical and Dow Corning Corporation gates on South Saginaw Road will be open and accessible from Salzburg Street.
