ALGER COUNTY, MI— A portion of an Alger County road will be closed through Wednesday for a culvert replacement project.
Sand Point Road will be temporarily closed to all vehicle and pedestrian traffic east of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore boundary.
The Sand Point Marsh Trail, Sand Point Beach, and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Headquarters will be inaccessible via Sand Point Road during this time. This closure will not impact access to Munising Memorial Hospital, the Munising Falls Visitor Center, or private residences on Sand Point Road.
Alternate parking for backpackers planning to park on Sand Point during the closure is at the Munising Falls Visitor Center.
The closure may extend through October 10 if additional time is needed to complete the work.
