Road construction

Renk: Thank you!

The Patterson Street bridge across the Kalamazoo River will close for a month in July for repairs.

It happened in the left lane of a traffic shift at the BL I-94 Marshall exit.

Beginning at 3pm Friday and continuing until 6am Tuesday, 89 out of 122 projects statewide will have lane restrictions removed.

Just a quick heads up, if you are in a hurry, or if you don't tolerate traffic back-ups.

I know it's not the biggest news in the world, but it's something to lessen the stress.

Getting from here to there will be a bit more difficult for the coming week. This time it's Romence Road in Portage.

While the weather has been great this summer, the construction not so much. Another project on a heavily traveled road starts up on Monday, August 14th.

You know the round-a-bout the city is building on Gull Street? Well, beginning Monday, July 31st, you won't be able to come down Gull Street to North Street and turn west. Now why is this important?

Driving West Main (M-43) Between US-131 and Pitcher Street feels like nothing more then a series of speed bumps intended to keep you at the posted 30 to 45 mph along the route through Kalamazoo. That doesn't seem to slow some people down and only serves to annoy others.
