Keweenaw Report Announces Reopening of Massie Road – Hot

After being closed for months due to repairs, Massie Road in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula has finally reopened. The road, which serves as a primary route for residents in Hancock and Houghton, was closed in October 2020 for construction work. The project involved replacing a culvert pipe along the road, which had deteriorated over time. The closure caused inconvenience and longer commute times for locals. However, with the road now reopened, residents can once again travel easily between their communities. The project’s completion is a relief for those who rely on Massie Road for daily transportation..

One of the longest-lingering road repair projects following the 2018 Father’s Day Flood is nearing completion.

Barricades were removed from Massie Road at US-41 north of Chassell Friday, with the section heading west basically completed. Construction continues on the short section of Massie Road east of the highway.

Torrential rains June 17, 2018 undermined and washed out the pavement on the hill, and damaged the overwhelmed drainage system next to the road.

One of the last road repair projects from the 2018 Father’s Day Flood in Michigan is nearing completion. Massie Road, which was undermined and washed out during the flood, has finally been repaved after more than five years. The $4.2 million project was funded by the Federal Emergency Management Administration, but reimbursement money has been slow in coming. The project included installing enlarged drainage ditches and culverts to prevent future damage. The Houghton County Road Commission has often had to wait up to a year for reimbursement, straining their operating budget. Construction is still ongoing on a section of Massie Road east of the highway.
