M-83 southbound traffic detoured in Saginaw County
Bridge work on M-83 in Frankenmuth Township, which began in mid-May, will continue with southbound traffic rerouted. Beginning this afternoon, traffic will no longer be maintained using an alternating two-way temporary signal. This new southbound detour will relieve incoming traffic congestion.

For the duration of this project, southbound commercial truck traffic will be rerouted to West Genesee Street (which becomes Junction Road) to Dixie Highway, then back to southbound M-83.
Southbound car traffic will be rerouted via West Jefferson Street, Flint Road, Dehmel Road, and Busch Road, then back to southbound M-83. Northbound traffic will continue travel on M-83.
The project is expected to be completed by mid-August.
