Shiawassee County, MI – Drivers using Interstate 69 in mid-Michigan will soon need to adjust their travel plans. The Michigan Department of Transportation announced that the Woodbury Rest Area on westbound I-69 will close for nearly two months beginning Tuesday, Oct. 15, to allow crews to rebuild the sewage lift station and septic tanks.
According to MDOT, the closure will remain in effect through Tuesday, Dec. 10, and includes the parking lot and all public facilities at the rest area. The project is part of ongoing infrastructure improvements along the I-69 corridor, which connects Lansing and Flint.
Motorists traveling through Shiawassee County are encouraged to use nearby rest areas or exits for breaks and restroom stops during the construction period. MDOT’s online Mi Drive map offers real-time updates and alternate route information for drivers.
The closure is expected to improve long-term sanitation reliability and facility safety once the upgrades are complete.
