HOUGHTON, MI— The current detour around the Michigan Department of Transportation rebuilding project on US-41 in Houghton will remain in place until late October.
The traffic configuration was expected to be changed in August. But MDOT says more extensive excavation work for underground utilities has taken longer than expected, delaying paving and requiring the detour extension.
The $9.6 million project includes the rebuilding of 1.1 miles of US-41. This year’s work is focusing on the segment from Isle Royale Street to Pearl Street and include widening College Avenue to add a center left-turn lane.
