April 1, 2013 -- The total reconstruction of M-53 between 34 Mile and Bordman roads enters a new stage on Tuesday, April 2, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). Beginning at 9 a.m., crews will close both directions of M-53 between Ebeling and 34 Mile roads until late August to rebuild the roadway over the Wilson Drain.
During the full closure, traffic will be detoured to McKay Road in both directions. For safety, temporary traffic signals have been installed on M-53 at both 34 Mile Road and Ebeling roads.
Included in this project is the addition of a center-turn lane between 34 and 36 Mile roads, creating new right-turn lanes at key intersections, and drainage improvements. All work is expected to be completed in November.
