New Traffic Signal Being Installed At US-31/Rennie School Road

A new traffic signal is being installed at the intersection of US-31 and Rennie School Road near Chums Corner, a project designed to help with increased traffic anticipated when the new Blain's Farm and Fleet store opens in late April.

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) started work on the signal installation Tuesday, with the project expected to be completed April 14. During construction, lane closures will be required in the corridor, as well as traffic shifts and shoulder closures.

On Sunday, April 7, the new signal will be turned on in "flash" mode, providing a flashing amber caution light for US-31 traffic and a flashing red stop light for Rennie School Road traffic. On Sunday, April 14, the signal will become fully operational.
