Shiawassee County, MI – Drivers traveling through mid-Michigan may face delays today as eastbound I-69 lanes are closed near State Road in Shiawassee County for emergency bridge repairs.
According to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), the closures are the result of a recent high-load vehicle striking the bridge, prompting crews to assess and repair structural damage to ensure roadway safety.
MDOT confirmed that one or more eastbound lanes of I-69 are shut down at State Road while repair work is underway. The closure affects traffic moving through Shiawassee County, located west of Flint and northeast of Lansing, a key corridor for commuters and commercial traffic across mid-Michigan.
Motorists should expect reduced speeds, possible backups, and changing traffic patterns near the work zone. MDOT urges drivers to slow down, follow posted signage, and remain alert for road crews and equipment.
MDOT has not yet announced a specific timeline for when all lanes will fully reopen. Updates will be provided as inspections and repairs continue.
