As of Monday, motorists using M-43 north of Hastings will have to seek an alternative route between Barber Road and Usborne Road west of Carlton Center. 

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is investing $3 million to rebuild the M-43 (Carlton Center Road) bridge over the Coldwater River.  The total road closure is projected to end this fall by October 1st. 

MDOT is detouring highway traffic through Nashville on M-37, M-79, and M-66. Local traffic will need to detour the area using county roads.
