BIG BAY -- While the upgrades to CR550 are underway, an entirely new section of road is being constructed from the [Eagle] mine gate to the Champion Twp-Michigamme Twp line (roughly where 595 would have ended). While the changes to Triple A develop, the existing Triple A road will remain open and then the old section will be "obliterated" sometime afterwards.
