Chassell, MI – Drivers in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula should prepare for delays on US-41 starting Monday, Sept. 22, as crews begin an emergency culvert replacement near Chassell in Houghton County.
According to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), the culvert north of Massie Road was damaged by excessive rainfall and requires immediate replacement. The project is scheduled to continue through Friday, Oct. 27.
During construction, motorists can expect alternating one-lane traffic controlled by temporary signals. MDOT officials noted that the traffic setup may cause backups, especially during peak travel hours.
The repair is designed to ensure the continued safe and reliable operation of the roadway, which is a key corridor for both local residents and regional travel across the Keweenaw Peninsula.
MDOT encourages drivers to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and watch for crews working in the construction zone.
