• Fenton, Michigan Rest Stop Closing for Two Months (wcrz.com) — If you rely on the northbound US-23 rest stop in Fenton, plan ahead: it's scheduled to close for about two months starting Monday, September 21, 2026, for water main work. Drivers will need to use nearby Fenton restaurants and businesses for bathroom breaks while crews complete this essential infrastructure project, which could run longer if construction hiccups arise.
