Signal installation at Traverse City State Park entrance begins in early March; motorists should expect single-lane closures
As part of an $8.5 million enhancement project at Keith J. Charters Traverse City State Park, in early March crews will begin installing a new traffic signal at the relocated U.S. 31 campground entrance.
During the traffic light installation, motorists on U.S. 31 should anticipate intermittent single-lane closures. Additionally, pedestrians should expect temporary sidewalk restrictions.
The project is anticipated to take two weeks. Digital message boards will be posted one week before construction starts.
Once installed, the traffic signal will operate in flashing mode for up to one month before becoming fully active in late April. The pedestrian crosswalk will remain closed until the signal is fully operational.
The traffic light installation is part of a larger project that the Michigan Department of Natural Resources began in February 2025. The planned project is designed to modernize the park’s facilities, enhance visitor access and traffic flow and improve accessibility, including a redesigned park entrance, a new at-grade pedestrian crossing, a new campground contact station, a relocated park headquarters building and an expanded sanitation station. All components of the project are compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility guidelines.
The park's modern campground closed in July 2025 and will remain closed through the 2026 season. The campground will reopen April 1, 2027. The Lake Michigan beach day-use area is expected to remain open; however, visitors should anticipate occasional closures for intersection work.
