CRYSTAL FALLS — Utility work being performed across the border in Wisconsin will affect Michigan traffic.

U.S. 2/U.S. 141 is closed for deep sanitary sewer work between Pewabic Street and Fisher Lake Road in Florence, Wis., requiring a detour on Michigan highways.

Eastbound U.S. 2 through-traffic is being detoured at Crystal Falls via M-69 and M-95 to U.S. 2 in Iron Mountain. The detour is reversed for westbound traffic.

Outside of the closure area, U.S. 2 remains open to local traffic. Access to local businesses will be maintained during the project.

The project is being managed by Florence Utilities at 715-528-3330. Work began Monday and is expected to be finished before the Fourth of July holiday.
