A Quick Construction Update for Interlochen Corners
It's been a few days since the traffic pattern shifted as part of Phase 2 of the Interlochen Corners project, and I know many of you have experienced some delays and frustration while everyone adjusts to the new traffic flow.
Please keep in mind that the contractor is still actively working on the transition. Traffic control devices, lane markings, signage, and other elements are continuing to be adjusted and fine-tuned as work progresses. What you see today may not be exactly what the final traffic pattern will look like over the next several days.
As drivers become more familiar with the new routes and the remaining adjustments are completed, traffic should begin to move a little more smoothly. Construction projects of this size often require a short adjustment period whenever a major traffic shift occurs.
I want to thank everyone who has been patient, respectful of the construction crews, and considerate of the residents living along both the official and unofficial detour routes. Your cooperation helps keep everyone safer and allows the project to move forward as efficiently as possible.
If you're traveling through the area, allow yourself a few extra minutes, pay attention to the temporary signage, and remember that the crews are working hard to get this project completed.
Thank you for your patience and grace as we all navigate another phase of this important project. Stay safe and drive carefully. 🚧🚙🚦
