    I’ll be coming from 96 east to deliver in Wyoming. Looks like maybe gotta go up 96N to 131S back to 196. Any Michiganders can clarify?

    I haven’t been out there lately, but Google maps backs up what you’re saying. Where exactly are you coming from?

    Yes but it not an issue since it is closed right where 6 splits off.

    196 to 6 to 131 North will get you there.

    I’m coming from Virginia. Can’t remember if it’s a hazmat run or not (I’ve done the run before), but I do remember boocoo truck restrictions everywhere up there lol

    That's right off Chicago Drive, it's a truck route. Our company picks up at Michigan Turkey every day, practically next door to it. If you're taking 96 all the way to 196, the Chicago Drive exit is before the road closure, you're good to go. Getting out can be a little trickier, but Chicago Dr is open all the way to Holland. Where are you heading next, after that?
     
    Jwhis and Suspect Zero Thank this.

    Sorry, I misread the original post. The brain damage seems to be more severe than normal today.

    That’s the way I’ve come in before. Just was asking about the construction crap where you go over the river. Think I’ll just go up 96 come back down 131 to grab 196. After that we generally go down to lemont and load out down there back southeast, NC or GA.
