Construction projects lead to closures, detours

A few road closures to report this week from the St. Clair County Road Commission.

As of Monday, phase two of a reconstruction project on Wales Center Road is now underway. According to the St. Clair County Road Commission, Wales Center from Rattle Run to Smiths Creek Road will be resurfaced with new asphalt resulting in a full road closure and a detour.

The project comes with a $1,045,000 price tag and work will be done by Ace-Saginaw Paving Company.
