NORWAY – Lane closures on U.S. 2 are planned in the city of Norway beginning Monday for utility work.

The Michigan Department of Transportation, in cooperation with the Dickinson County Road Commission and Bacco Construction, will be replacing a storm sewer pipe crossing on U.S. 2 just west of Case Street, requiring the closures.

The existing storm sewer pipe has failed, requiring replacement across the full width of the highway. The cost of the project is approximately $110,000.

Beginning Monday, work will start on the south half of U.S. 2; traffic will be shifted north. One lane of alternating traffic will be maintained in the right lane of westbound U.S. 2 via a temporary traffic signal.

Upon completion of the south half of the pipe crossing, one alternating lane of traffic will be shifted onto the right lane of eastbound US-2.

These closures are scheduled to be lifted by Wednesday, Sept. 30, MDOT officials said.
