Post holiday closure of northbound M 53 (Van Dyke Freeway) starts Tuesday, July 9, in northern Macomb County

BRUCE TOWNSHIP, Mich. ­- Scheduled to begin at 6 a.m. Tuesday, July 9, northbound M-53 (Van Dyke Freeway) will be closed from 33 Mile to 35 Mile roads for ongoing repair. The closure is expected to remain in place for approximately six weeks. During this stage of construction, 34 Mile Road will also be closed at M-53.

Northbound M-53 traffic will be detoured via northbound McKay Road and westbound Ebeling Road back to northbound M-53.

Eastbound 34 Mile Road traffic will be detoured via northbound Gould Road, eastbound 35 Mile Road, northbound M-53, eastbound Ebeling Road, and southbound McKay Road back to 34 Mile Road.

Westbound 34 Mile Road traffic will be detoured via northbound McKay Road, westbound Ebeling Road, southbound M-53, westbound 35 Mile Road, and southbound Gould Road back to 34 Mile Road.

This work is part of a $5.3 million investment on M-53 (Van Dyke Freeway) between 27 Mile and 34 Mile roads that includes asphalt and concrete pavement repairs on the lanes and shoulders, concrete pavement repairs to the ramps between M-53 and Van Dyke Avenue, and sidewalk and curb ramp installations at M-53 and 32 Mile Road.

Based on economic modeling, this investment is expected to directly and indirectly support 64 jobs.
