🚧 CR 519 Road Closure Begins Wednesday

CR 519 will close to through traffic near its intersection with M-28 beginning Wednesday, September 23, at 7:00 AM. The closure is expected to last approximately 14 days, weather and construction conditions permitting.

The closure is needed for the City of Wakefield’s DWSRF Phase 2 water system improvements. The City is also completing work in the area through its 40101(d) Electric Grid Resiliency Grant project. The City coordinated the two projects to reduce the number of separate detours needed on this important route and the total time drivers are affected.

Please follow the posted detour via Johnson Road and allow extra travel time. Use caution along M-28: trucks entering the highway from the detour may need more time to reach highway speed. Watch for turning trucks and leave extra space.

We will share updates if the closure schedule changes. Thank you for your patience as we complete these improvements.

09/22/2026

North County Road 519 will be closed from the intersection of 519 and M-28 due to a water main replacement project. Please use Johnson Road as the detour route to access the Industrial Park and the Porcupine Mt. State Park.

Please adhere to the speed limit on Johnson Road as this is a residential area. All truck traffic will also be using Johnson Road so please slow down around corners.

Thank you for your cooperation while the City of Wakefield is improving the infrastructure for our area!
