More headaches for motorists start today in the Hartland Township area as resurfacing is scheduled to begin on M-59.

The work on the Michigan Department of Transportation’s M-59 resurfacing, safety, and drainage upgrades project will require an additional single-lane closure.

MDOT advises that one lane of eastbound M-59 between Lakena Road to Tipsico Road will be closed until early August - in addition to lane closures already in place in each direction in the work zone.

Motorists should expect to encounter delays.

The overall M-59 project is occurring in multiple stages, with access maintained to all businesses. It is scheduled for completion in mid-November.
