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.
