The Indianwood Road intersection with M-24 opening will be delayed at least until Friday, July 24, according to information from the Michigan Department of Transportation.

Extending the center left-turn lanes, improving the pavement surface, adjusting lane widths, and consolidating driveways will increase motorist safety by reducing the number of crashes in this area, MDOT’s Brian Travis wrote in an email to Village of Lake Orion Manager Joe Young.
