A recurring night-time closure will be begin on Old US-23 south of M-59 this week, according to the Livingston County Road Commission.

"This is a nighttime closure so it is only from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.," Garrett Olson, Construction Engineer at the Livingston County Road Commission, said "The road will be back open as normal during the daytime."


Old US-23 will be closed to traffic immediately south of M-59 between the hours of 9pm and 6am, nightly. Traffic will be open as normal outside of those night-time hours.

The official detour is Hyne and Hacker Roads to M-59. Bergan Road is not part of the official detour due to the unpaved portion.

"Bergan Road, that is a road we considered," Olson said. "One reason we like to avoid that is because there is a gravel portion of Bergan Road. We like to keep people on the main routes that are paved."

Emergency services may seek access if needed.

The night-time closures will end at 6am Saturday.
