Motorists across St. Clair County face a busy week of road work, with more than 30 sites affected by lane and full closures. Crews continue bridge replacement on Palms Road through December 4th, while Jeddo Road stays closed near Cribbins Road through October 15th for bridge maintenance. Chip seal, cape seal and paving projects will bring intermittent lane closures to townships including Casco, Clyde, Kimball and Port Huron. Officials say all work is weather dependent and urge drivers to allow extra travel time and watch for posted detours.

Health officials in Tuscola County have confirmed a new measles case, tied to a known exposure, and are now working to notify anyone who may have come into contact with the virus. Measles spreads easily through the air and can linger for up to 2 hours after an infected person leaves a room, with symptoms like fever, cough, and a red rash typically appearing 7 to 21 days after exposure. Officials say two doses of the MMR vaccine are about 97 percent effective.
