This is the detour MDOT mapped out while they work on the M-115 bridge: it takes drivers down M-37, to 4 Rd, and then along 9 Rd, back onto M-115.
“That’s the detour route we’ve used for a couple of other projects over the past couple of years, this is a route we’ve determined in cooperation with the Wexford County Road Commission and that’s really how all of our detour routes are determined,” said James Lake, MDOT North Region Communications Representative.
And locals thought they had a way around that detour, using county back roads, like North 11 Rd, until signs popped up closing it to thru traffic, frustrating drivers like David Stanley.
