As part of the ongoing work on Fort Street in Downton Port Huron, getting to the county courthouse and municipal office center may become a little more difficult. McMorran Boulevard between Michigan and Merchant Street will be closed to traffic starting Wednesday morning. The posted detour will be Beers Street or Grand River Avenue. Construction on Fort Street began in April and expected to be completed by November.

Also starting Wednesday, Garfield Street will be closed to through traffic to allow for work on the new Gator Avenue. Garfield will be repaved with new sidewalk ramps and curbs. The project is expected to last through the end of the month and is being funded by the City of Port Huron Street Millage and Housing Development Action Grant. Gator Avenue is the name for a new residential subdivision at 10th Avenue and Garfield Streets at the site of the former St. Clair County Day Treatment-Night Watch facility.
