The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is investing $1.8 million to build a new roundabout at the intersection of US-131, M-186 and West State Street in Fife Lake.

TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS:
During this final stage of construction, southbound US-131 traffic will be detoured on M-186 and M-113, while northbound US-131 traffic will be maintained on US-131 through a portion of the new roundabout. The temporary traffic signal at the M-113/M-186 intersection will remain in place, but stop signs for US-131 traffic at the M-113 intersection will be removed.
SAFETY FEATURES:
This new roundabout will help prevent severe crashes at this intersection, while maintaining traffic flow. For more information on the benefits of roundabouts, visit www.Michigan.gov/Roundabout.
