Monroe County road project closes part of Temperance Road to traffic
TEMPERANCE, Mich. — The Monroe County Road Commission issued a March 13, 2026 notice saying part of Temperance Road was closed to traffic for road work.
The closure affects a road named for and serving the Temperance community. Residents, commuters, school buses, farm vehicles and other drivers who use the affected segment may need alternate routes while the closure is in effect. The project also has implications for local travel and emergency access in the Temperance area.
What the notice says
The official notice identifies Temperance Road as the affected road and attributes the closure to the Monroe County Road Commission. It identifies the closure limits in the notice, but the accessible approved record does not provide those limits in enough detail to reproduce them here.
The record also does not state when the road would reopen, how long the work was expected to last or what the project would cost. No detour route is identified in the approved source material, so drivers should not assume a specific alternate route based on this report.
No current reopening update identified
The March 13 notice was published more than 45 days before Aug. 7, 2026. A broader search covering Aug. 5-7, the period from July 3 through Aug. 7, and a 45-day fallback window did not locate a newer qualifying development specifically tied to Temperance.
That search result does not establish that the road remained closed on Aug. 7. It means the approved record contains no current reopening update or project-completion status. The available information should therefore be read as a documented road-work closure notice, not as confirmation of the road’s status on a later date.
Local place context
Temperance is an unincorporated community in Bedford Township, Monroe County, Michigan. A separate Michigan Secretary of State notice about a temporary closure of the Temperance office confirms the place identity but does not provide additional information about the Temperance Road project.
For residents and drivers, the practical issue is the affected road segment and the need to verify current conditions before traveling through the area. The approved record does not identify a next construction deadline, reopening date or completion announcement.
