A portion of Skilak Lake Road will be closed on Wednesday at MP 6.2 from approximately 10am until 3pm, according to Shannon McCarthy with the Department of Transportation.

Crews will be replacing another culvert in the area, as long as weather permits. McCarthy: “The culvert is at least 30 years old and with the extra traffic this summer, is deteriorating quickly and needs to be replaced in order to keep the road in good working order.”

According to McCarthy, DOT does have to do a full closure, however, crews are anticipating being able to get the work done quickly and it should only be closed until approximately 3 p.m.

Updates will be posted as they are made available.
