Port Huron has closed the middle lanes of Huron Avenue between Andrew Murphy Avenue and Bard Street for a week, as of Tuesday. The Michigan Department of Transportation is conducting excavation work to check the city’s underground infrastructure for a 2027 road project. City Engineer Brent Moore says the excavation wrapped up on Tuesday, but the new concrete needs a week to dry. While there’s no exact date for the reopening, drivers should expect delays.

Over two dozen local residents also expressed frustration with the lack of communication and raised concerns about property values.
