Intermittent road closures on Junction for gas main replacement
For the next seven months, Frankenmuth-area residents should be aware of traffic delays on Junction Road, just west of the city limits.
Beginning Monday, March 31, Consumers Energy crews will begin work on Junction Road in Frankenmuth Township. They will be replacing a six-inch gas main, with construction work starting at Maple Road, Frankenmuth City Manager Bridget Smith said.
Work will progress east into the city, where the project will end at Churchgrove Road. Work will take place on the south side of the road. The intensity of the work will require lane closures while crews are present. The work schedule is anticipated to be Monday through Friday, 10 hours a day (weather permitting) from March 31 to October 2025, making this a seven-month project.
Consumers will also have a crew working on gas service lines west of Maple Road toward Dixie Highway, under a smaller lane closure permit as well.
The Frankenmuth Public Safety departments, Frankenmuth Police and Frankenmuth Fire, along with MMR Ambulance Service, are gearing up to handle these delays in the event of law enforcement, fires, or medical issues that should arise in that stretch.
FPD Chief Don Mawer said his officers will work around the project as best they can. He also expects added traffic pressure on the east-west stretches of West Tuscola and Roedel Roads.
There are a handful of businesses who may be impacted by the work, but will remain open and ready to serve their customers. .......
