BACKGROUND:
MDOT plans to rebuild US-31 from Indiana Road to south of the northern Milton Road/US-31 intersection, and M-68 from US-31 to the Crooked River bridge in the village of Alanson and Littlefield Township. This project will include sidewalk improvements, traffic signal improvements, access management changes to driveways and intersections along the route, streetscape improvements, carpool lot paving, and drainage improvements.
The project includes relocating the North Western State Trail on the west side of US-31 in three sections:
Work is currently expected to begin in August 2022 and continue through 2023. This project will require detouring US-31 traffic on River Street, Banwell Road, Milton Street, and M-68, temporary traffic signals, and temporary widening with traffic shifts.

This project will include sidewalk improvements, traffic signal improvements, access management changes to driveways and intersections along the route, streetscape improvements, carpool lot paving, and drainage improvements.
The project includes relocating the North Western State Trail on the west side of US-31 in three sections:
- Blumke Road to Milton Road, where Littlefield Township already owns the former railroad property.
- Blumke Road to Powers Road. Littlefield Township has applied for a grant through MDNR to purchase the former railroad property. If the purchase is not completed, MDOT will temporarily detour the trail onto Milton Road during work.
- North of Alanson at Bonz Street. The proposed plan includes closing Chicago Street between US-31 and Milton Street, and extending Bonz Street to the US-31/Pine Street intersection. This would require MDOT to purchase a portion of MDNR property.
Work is currently expected to begin in August 2022 and continue through 2023. This project will require detouring US-31 traffic on River Street, Banwell Road, Milton Street, and M-68, temporary traffic signals, and temporary widening with traffic shifts.
