A ramp along M-59 is closed due to southbound M-53 being under construction between M-59 and 18 Mile Road. Michigan Department of Transportation officials say southbound M-53 between M-59 and 18 Mile is expected to be closed until around Memorial Day, and northbound M-53 between M-59 and 18 Mile is expected to also close for construction later this year.

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — If you would have polled various bowling coaches throughout Macomb, Wayne and Oakland Counties prior to this season and asked them, “Who’s the top bowler in the
class of 2025,” it wouldn’t have been a surprise if Utica Eisenhower junior Dylan Harnden was mentioned multiple times. A state qualifier his sophomore year as the No. 1 seed from the qualifying block, a member of the United States Bowling Congress Junior Team USA, and See HARNDEN on page 18A

MACOMB COUNTY — Closing parts of M-53 throughout this year’s construction season might mean detours or fewer open lanes, but it will extend the highway’s lifespan for years to come, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation. MDOT said it shut down southbound M-53 between M-59/Hall Road to 18 Mile Road March 4 for road repairs and bridge work. As a result, the ramps connecting to southbound M-53 are blocked off as well. During a March 12 virtual meeting,
MDOT construction engineer Adam Wayne said that portion of M-53 — within Sterling Heights and Utica — will get an asphalt overlay. Nine bridge areas in that stretch will also get attention, he said. MDOT assistant construction engineer Kimberly McClain said the department expects the southbound work to last around three months and end around Memorial Day. Later in the summer, perhaps around Labor Day, northbound M-53 between 18 Mile and M-59 will close, and officials expect that work to last until around November. To promote walkability and pedestrian
