Washington Township, MI – Commuters in northern Macomb County are being urged to steer clear of 32 Mile Road this afternoon as authorities close the roadway between Henry Ross and Fisher Roads in Washington Township. The closure comes after downed power lines were reported in the area.
According to the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office, the shutdown is expected to last about five hours while crews work to remove the wires and restore power safely. Deputies are asking drivers to seek alternate routes and avoid the area entirely until repairs are complete.
Officials have not reported any injuries related to the incident, but utility crews remain on-site to assess damage and begin repairs. Motorists traveling through Washington Township should expect delays along nearby detour routes, including Campground Road and 31 Mile Road.
Residents are reminded to treat any downed wires as live and stay clear of the scene for their safety. Updates will be provided by the Sheriff’s Office as the situation develops.
