Lapeer, Mich. – Drivers in Lapeer County should expect delays this week as utility work will temporarily close lanes along M-24.
According to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), watermain work is scheduled from Wednesday, Aug. 27, through Friday, Aug. 29, on M-24 (South Main Street) between Powers Street and DeMille Boulevard in the city of Lapeer.
