MDOT to remove beacons at Wakefield intersection Thursday

WAKEFIELD, MI— An intersection in Wakefield will be affected by road work on Thursday.

Crews from the Michigan Department of Transportation and the city will be removing overhead beacons at US-2 and Putnam Street. Drivers should expect intermittent lane closures between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m.

The work is in preparation for an upcoming US-2 project that will include reconfiguring the intersection.

MDOT is urging drivers to be cautious when approaching the intersection while work is in progress.
