PSA: US-23 between Dundee and Milan is closed
FYI if you are coming from the south to the game today US-23 between Dundee (M-50) and Milan (Plank Rd) is closed. It may be closed for a couple weeks the news said due to an overheight truck hitting a railroad bridge a couple weeks ago, and they just inspected it last night and it has more damage than they thought.
Your best bet to avoid dirt roads is take M-50 West to Dennison Rd North, Redman Rd East, Wabash St left, and Main St right which turns into Plank to get back on 23. Or if thats too busy make a left onto Platt then right onto Willis and get back on 23.

So. . . hit bridge a couple weeks ago, last night they inspected. Timely. Let's hope it's more like, 'further inspection revealed.' Something that offers more confidence in officials concerned.

I've worked with DOT's in 7 different states and I hate to say it but MDOT is the worst by far
September 11th, 2021 at 8:30 AM ^
Worse than Illinois?! That can’t be
September 11th, 2021 at 9:34 AM ^
I can't say, I've never worked there
September 11th, 2021 at 11:54 AM ^
I am in the ready mix concrete industry and the mixes MDOT requires compared to ODOT I just don't get.

There’s a reason why the statement “good enough for government” exists.
September 11th, 2021 at 9:40 AM ^
Is it infrastructure week yet?
No, it’s “infrastructure, weak.”
September 11th, 2021 at 8:08 AM ^
Wow. Doubling the traffic back ups / hassles of getting to the game, especially for those not savvy and/or obsessed enough to read MGoBlog.

Alternatively, if you are coming straight from the Toledo area in particular, you might want to try I-75 to I-275 to I-94 west - there is construction on I-275, but it isn't unbearable. It's the long way around, to be sure, but nothing is completely shut down. If you really want to take the scenic route, you can also get off US-23 in Dundee and head east to Ida-Maybee Road, then get on Palmer and start the long drive north - Palmer becomes Rawsonville Road, which eventually meets I-94 at the Wayne-Washtenaw County line, putting you about 15 miles east of where you need to be.

Ahh, screw it, you just can’t get there from here!
September 11th, 2021 at 1:38 PM ^
That's definitely a good workaround normally, but keep in mind 275 still has all that construction going on where it's closed to one lane in each direction from somewhere south of the airport to the other side of I-94. That won't be good today either.

Taking two weeks to inspect a bridge that was crashed into by a overheight truck.
That’s Pure Michigan.

Thank you for the heads up! We drive up from Dayton, Oh to the games and would not have known this!!

If your coming up from Ohio, exit US-23 onto M-50 West until you hit M-52. Take left on M-52 and head south for 30 miles.
September 11th, 2021 at 9:34 AM ^
You mean take a right onto M-52 and head north until you get to I-94.
Right???
September 11th, 2021 at 9:39 AM ^
....or just keep north on M-52 until it ends, which I believe is in the rural wastescapes west of Saginaw. Actually, if you wanted to avoid ALL the construction around Ann Arbor and Detroit, that might be a way to do it.
September 11th, 2021 at 10:18 AM ^
Rural wastescapes?
where 52 ends is one of the better areas of Saginaw county. Not too far away from me.
September 11th, 2021 at 8:54 AM ^
It made my 3 hour trip last night 5 hours long. I’ll take note of this on the way back home tomorrow.
September 11th, 2021 at 9:28 AM ^
Also--a big 10-4 on that smokey bear on I-four-0.

This is from the corner of Liberty and Seventh, and yes the F$#@ing road is still closed (I've had the gas dudes port-a potty parked in front of my house for weeks).
September 11th, 2021 at 4:29 PM ^
Make good use of it , Scanner Blue---it won't go on your water/sewer bill!
September 11th, 2021 at 10:11 AM ^
Between GPS in cars and smart phone GPS, the folks coming up from the south should be in good shape. Allow a lot of extra time to get to Ann Arbor-good luck and Go Maize (& Blue)!

From the title, I thought fans had been banned from a European soccer game.
I might need a nap before the game.
September 11th, 2021 at 11:06 AM ^
Good lookin' out!
GO BLUE
September 11th, 2021 at 11:08 AM ^
So, a Buckeye fan drove his truck into an overpass on purpose to fuck with Michigan fans? Got it.
September 11th, 2021 at 4:31 PM ^
Yup.
and w/a fully loaded cooler
September 11th, 2021 at 12:39 PM ^
Thanks for the heads up. Flying out of Metro next week and driving up from Toledo. You saved me a huge headache.

Take Lloyd Rd exit 15, go through downtown Dundee, and up, get back on in Milan. Check Google Maps.
Godspeed.
Go Blue.
