****UPDATE****
4:51pm - All lanes reopened.


A messy evening commute can be expected for anyone traveling on US-23 in the Whitmore Lake area.

Northbound US-23 was shut down at Barker Road shortly before 4pm due to multiple crashes involving more than a dozen vehicles where the Flex Route ends and traffic merges from three lanes to two.

Motorists are being advised to avoid the area if possible and seek alternate routes.
