Two weeks after a failed culvert caused part of M-20 to collapse, the Michigan Department of Transportation wrote in a press release on Friday that the sinkhole is nearly repaired.
“Earlier this week, sections of concrete pipe were placed to expediate repairs due to delays caused by securing an entire culvert,” MDOT wrote. “Crews began concrete pouring on Friday, March 27, to replace the road surface.”
MDOT stated the concrete can take up to six days to cure and that the reopening of the road is subject to change due to weather. They will be working on a more permanent structure, possibly in 2027.
The department has detours via County Line Road, Blanchard Road and Coldwater Road. Truck traffic is currently detoured via Winn Road, M-46 and M-66.
