Drivers in St. Clair County should expect delays as multiple road projects kick off this week. Burns Road, between Card and Richman, will have intermittent lane closures for ditching work. Fish Road near Jarvis will be fully closed for a day to replace a culvert. In Port Huron Township, Wadhams and Griswold roads, as well as Dove and Michigan roads, will see lane closures while traffic signals are upgraded. These signal projects are expected to continue through mid-January. All work is weather dependent, so schedules may change.
