ONTONAGON COUNTY, MI— The Michigan Department of Transportation had to close a section of highway in Ontonagon County due to flooding Thursday.
M-28 at the bridge over the south branch of the Ontonagon River was closed shortly after 1 p.m. as water from spring runoff covered the roadway.
M-28 will be open to local traffic only between US-45 and M-64. Eastbound traffic will be detoured via US-2 and US-45, with the detour reversed for westbound traffic. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes. No local road detour routes are available.
And M-35 at County Road MK in Marquette County has alternating lanes of traffic due to water on the road.
MDOT will continue to provide updates, or you can check MiDrive for closure information.
