Traffic patterns shifted drivers last week from two lanes of Grandview Parkway’s south- and westbound lanes to all four lanes, said Jim Johnson, construction engineer for Michigan Department of Transportation’s Traverse City Transportation Service Center. Nighttime demolition cleared out the old pavement from M-22’s west half from M-72 to Cherry Bend Road.

TRAVERSE CITY — The barge at the center of a flap over its sinking has a new location, and could soon have a new owner. Donald Balcom said he sold the barge Monday, shortly after a tow boat and construction crew dislodged it from the spot south of Suttons Bay where it sat beached since 2023. He hoped that would end the criminal case brought against him by the state Attorney General’s office that same year.
