Latest Update: (4/8/26 at 3:00 pm)
Due to the significant amount of precipitation over the weekend, work on this repair cannot begin until the groundwater recedes.
The Ingham County Drain Commissioner’s Office is monitoring the area to assess when work can begin. The outer southbound lane and the center turn lane on Okemos Road will remain closed, as reopening the roadway is not safe until the repair is complete.
We appreciate everyone’s patience while the Ingham County Drain Commissioner’s Office completes this emergency repair to the storm drain.
Original Update: (4/5/26 at 9:00 am)
Weather permitting, the Ingham County Drain Commissioner’s Office will begin storm sewer repairs on Okemos Road starting Monday, April 6, at 7:00 am.
To complete this repair, the inner southbound lane and the center turn lane on Okemos Road will be closed to traffic from just north of Grand River Avenue to just past the 5/3 Bank.
During construction, both northbound lanes and the outer southbound lane will remain open. Motorists should anticipate delays when traveling through the area.
Repairs are expected to take approximately 1-3 weeks to complete. The Township will provide construction schedule updates as more information becomes available.
