Howell, MI – Drivers in Livingston County should plan for detours today as a full closure of Reservoir Road is now in effect, impacting travel between key rural connectors in the Howell area.
According to the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office, Reservoir Road between 5139 and 5134 Reservoir Rd—stretching from Johnson Hill to Lakeville Groveland Road—will be closed Tuesday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The closure applies to all traffic, including emergency vehicles, meaning no through access will be permitted during that time.
The affected stretch sits within a commonly used route for local residents traveling between northern Livingston County and nearby communities, with indirect impacts possible for commuters heading toward the greater Detroit metro area. Drivers are advised to seek alternate routes well in advance and allow for extra travel time throughout the day.
Officials have not specified the exact reason for the closure, but such daytime shutdowns are typically associated with road maintenance, utility work, or infrastructure repairs requiring full access to the roadway.
Motorists should avoid the area entirely during closure hours, as no partial access or lane sharing will be available. Emergency responders will also be rerouted, which could affect response times in the immediate vicinity.
Updates will be provided if the closure extends beyond the scheduled 4:00 p.m. reopening.
