Road closure

East Lansing drivers, listen up; your commute could be impacted by a road closure.

Starting today, Haslett Rd. is closing for a pavement rehabilitation project, and it will be completed in two parts.

The first section will include Haslett Rd. from Saginaw Highway to the intersection of Hagadorn Rd.

After the first section is completed, Phase 2 will begin... shutting down Haslet Rd. From the Hagadorn Rd. Intersection to Park Lake Rd.

Phase one begins today and is expected to be completed at the end of September.

First day of school

More students are headed back to the classroom today for the 2025-26 school year.

Move-in week was last week for MSU Students, and after a packed welcome week, they begin classes this morning.

For our younger students, East Lansing and St. Johns Public Schools are starting classes today as well.

And after a slight delay due to construction projects, the Waverly students who did not start classes last week are expected to begin today.
