City of Midland Traffic Alert: MDOT work on M-20/US-10 BR Project

TRAFFIC ALERT: The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) announced that phase one of Midland Corridor Forward—also known as the M-20/US-10 BR Improvement Project—begins today, March 24.

During this phase, Indian Street and westbound US-10 Business Route (Patrick Road) will be closed and traffic detoured onto Buttles Street and eastbound US-10 Business Route (Lyon Road). To accommodate this, Buttles Street and Lyon Road will be temporarily converted to accommodate two-way traffic. To reiterate: two-way traffic on Buttles and Lyon is TEMPORARY while construction occurs, despite what your neighbor Dave may tell you.

Phase one of Midland Corridor Forward involves the reconstruction of Patrick Road from Washington to Indian, the resurfacing of Indian Street from Patrick to Jerome, the reconstruction of Jerome Street from W. Main to Indian, and water main installation.

Phase one is estimated to be completed by November 15, 2026. Phase two will begin in 2027, with additional traffic restrictions announced in advance.

Once complete, Midland Corridor Forward will bring significant improvements to this corridor, including a 10-foot-wide pathway along the south side of Buttles Street, enhanced lighting, new traffic control mast arms, new street trees, and buried utilities. These are long-term investments to enhance one of our community’s most prominent gateways.

Please remember to give yourself a bit of extra time for your commute, stay patient, and drive safely.
