Lenawee County, Michigan – Tree trimming work is reducing traffic to one lane on several Lenawee County roads today, potentially slowing local travel.
According to the Lenawee County Road Commission, crews are conducting scheduled tree trimming along multiple county road segments, requiring temporary single-lane traffic with flagging operations.
The affected areas include Mills Road between Round Lake Highway and Hallenbeck Highway, Shepherd Road between Bent Oak Highway and Tipton Highway, and Medina Road between Warwick Road and M-156. All three locations are expected to experience intermittent delays while crews complete trimming along the roadway edges.
Road officials said the work is necessary to maintain clear sightlines, improve safety, and prevent storm-related debris issues later in the year. Drivers should expect alternating traffic flow in work zones and are advised to reduce speed when approaching crews.
No full closures have been announced, but motorists are encouraged to plan for extra travel time, especially during peak daytime hours. Work schedules may vary depending on progress and weather conditions.
The lane restrictions may be particularly relevant for commuters, students, and local workers who regularly travel between rural highways and residential areas during weekday hours.
Drivers are reminded to follow posted signage and instructions from flaggers to ensure the safety of road workers and the public.
