3 projects on U.S. 223 in Lenawee County start this week

Three construction projects are starting this week on U.S. 223 in Lenawee County, the Michigan Department of Transportation announced yesterday.

All require daytime flag zones, and a temporary traffic signal will be in place at one location, officials said.

MDOT contractors will reconstruct the Silberhorn Highway intersection near Blissfield and replace two culverts nearby; replace curbs and gutters and improve drainage just east of the River Raisin, and repair pavement and add a turn lane at Onsted Highway in Rome Center.

The $2 million Silberhorn project will continue as long as weather permits this fall, then resume next spring with completion scheduled for June.

The other projects, costing a combined $200,000, are expected to be finished by early November.
