Just a reminder, Consumers Energy announced Hardy Dam Road will be closed both directions for approximately three weeks beginning July 20.

The temporary closure is needed to allow crews to safely perform soil studies at Hardy Dam for a future auxiliary spillway project there.

Detour signs will direct motorists south to Croton Drive as the shortest alternative route.

All recreational access sites on both sides of Hardy Dam – Hardy Dam Marina and launch, Operators Village Park, and the canoe portage -- will remain open during the road closure.
