M-72 will be closed near Greilickville Jan. 13, weather permitting, to prepare for a roundabout installation at the M-22 intersection in spring 2025. Traffic going east and west will be detoured onto county roads and Traverse City streets.
This closure should have less of an impact on people driving in and out of Leelanau County on M-22 via Traverse City, however. According to a Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) press release, the project will take about four weeks to complete, with an estimated end date of Feb. 10.
Contractors will relocate underground utilities on M-72 while the highway is partially closed from Jan. 13 to Feb. 10, as part of preparations for the roundabout project in the spring.
