Midland County, MI – Drivers traveling through Midland County are being urged to find alternate routes today after a crash forced the closure of a major roadway.
According to the Midland County Sheriff’s Office, westbound M-20 (Isabella Road) is closed at N 5 Mile Road due to a traffic crash reported earlier today. Authorities have not released details on injuries or how many vehicles were involved.
The closure is impacting westbound traffic only, but drivers should expect congestion and possible delays in surrounding areas as traffic is rerouted. Officials are asking motorists to avoid the area if possible and allow emergency crews room to work at the scene.
M-20 is a key east-west route connecting parts of Midland County to Isabella County and is commonly used by commuters traveling between Midland, Mount Pleasant, and surrounding communities. Even short-term closures on this stretch can cause backups on nearby county roads.
No estimated time for reopening has been announced. Drivers are encouraged to check local traffic conditions before heading out and to watch for updates from law enforcement as the situation develops.
Anyone traveling through the area should slow down near detours and follow posted signage. Additional information is expected once the crash investigation and roadway cleanup are complete.
