US-31 Reconstruction Project near Interlochen

under construction

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is undertaking a significant reconstruction project on US-31 near Interlochen. The project involves rebuilding a 7.8-mile stretch of US-31 from Sullivan Road in Green Lake Township, Grand Traverse County, to Reynolds Road in Inland Township, Benzie County. The work includes removing unsuitable soil and peat near the Cedar Hedge Creek and Tonawanda Creek bridges, improving pavement conditions, adding center left-turn lanes, widening paved shoulders, installing rumble strips, and constructing a roundabout at the South Long Lake Road/J. Maddy Parkway intersection. Detours on local roads are in place during this phase of construction.
