Drivers across St. Clair County should expect delays this week as multiple road projects began Monday. Crews are working in Casco, Clyde, Columbus, Cottrellville, Kimball, Lynn, and St. Clair townships with a mix of lane closures and full shutdowns. Several roads, including Rabidue, Turner, and parts of Yale and Vine, will fully close for culvert work. Roundabout construction shuts down Shea Road in Cottrellville. Other areas will see intermittent lane restrictions for paving and maintenance. All work is weather dependent, with detours posted where needed.

St. Clair County is ramping up beach safety checks as summer crowds return. The county health department has restarted weekly water testing at eight popular beaches, including spots in Port Huron, Fort Gratiot, and Marine City. Officials are checking for E. coli levels through September, with results posted online within a day. If bacteria levels run high, advisories go out, warning people to stay out of the water until it is safe again. Health leaders say the goal is to keep beaches open and safe, but swimmers should still be cautious.
