TRAVERSE CITY, MI — Residents, businesses, motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians should be aware that Traverse City Light & Power (TCLP) will perform underground fiber installation work on S Union Street at the intersection of W State Street on Wednesday, April 1, 2026. Work will take place in the manhole at that intersection and will require a temporary closure of the center lane on S Union Street south of W State Street from 7:00 a.m. to approximately 3:30 p.m., weather permitting, to perform the work safely. Two-way traffic will be maintained using the northbound and southbound lanes of S Union Street.
During construction, the pedestrian crosswalk at S Union Street on the south side of W State Street will be closed. Appropriate signage will be in place indicating the work area and detours, and access to all businesses will be maintained at all times.
