Saginaw, MI – Drivers in Saginaw are facing detours this week as the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) closes a section of M-58 (Davenport Avenue) for emergency water main repairs. The closure, running from Thursday, Nov. 20, through Monday, Nov. 24, affects the stretch between M-84 (Bay Street) and Hemmeter Road.
According to MDOT, the closure is necessary to allow the City of Saginaw to safely complete urgent repairs following a water main break earlier this week.
Eastbound M-58 remains closed as part of an ongoing $13 million rebuilding project, which had already shifted traffic westbound with a temporary center turn lane. The emergency repair work adds another short-term disruption for commuters.
During the closure, westbound traffic on M-58 (Davenport Avenue) will be detoured via M-84 (Bay Street), Shattuck Road, Hemmeter Road, and M-58 (State Street). Eastbound drivers will follow Hemmeter Road, Shattuck Road, M-84 (Bay Street), and M-58 (State Street).
Officials note the detour schedule may change depending on repair progress. Drivers are encouraged to allow extra travel time and use alternate routes when possible.
This closure is expected to lift by Monday evening, Nov. 24, pending completion of repair work.
