Drivers near Emmett and Wadhams in St. Clair County should plan for some slowdowns on I-69. Starting today, the Michigan Department of Transportation will close one lane in each direction on the highway for bridge repairs over the south branch of the Pine River. The $1.3 million project includes fixing bearings, replacing part of the pier caps, and resealing joints. Work is expected to last through October. This investment will extend the bridge’s life and support about 11 local jobs. Expect delays in both eastbound and westbound lanes during the construction period.

United Way of St. Clair County is preparing for a major change in Port Huron, selling its longtime Military Street building and moving this summer to a smaller shared space on Lapeer Road in Port Huron Township. Leaders say the move will cut costs and improve access, with bus service and closer ties to partner agencies. At the same time, the group is shifting focus to emergency help, providing direct support for residents facing shutoffs, housing issues, and disasters as more local families struggle to make ends meet.
