MUNISING, Mich. - The planned closure of Sand Point Road has been postponed until further notice because of unexpected project delays. Sand Point Road and the beach remain open and accessible.

The closure, originally scheduled from Wednesday, July 8, through Friday, July 17, was intended for a culvert replacement project beginning at the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore boundary.

Officials will announce a new date for the project and road closure once it is determined.
