Current Projects

Construction season is just starting in West Michigan. At present, there are a handful of lane shifts and shoulder closures around town but nothing that should impede traffic. That will change in the coming weeks.

Upcoming Projects

Downtown GR

Stretches of Division Avenue between Fulton and Michigan streets will be closed from spring into fall. Motorists can take Monroe Avenue or Ionia Avenue as alternate north-south routes through downtown.

The Division Avenue and Fulton Street intersection will close for an estimated four months starting in July.

Lyon Street between Monroe Avenue and the Grand River will be closed from July through November to complete the Lyon Square revitalization project. This is not a thru street but access to the DeVos Place parking ramp will be impeded. Visitors can still enter the ramp from Michigan Street.

Details on these and other upcoming city street and highway projects will be added here as soon as they become available. Please check back before your trip.

Highway Construction

At least two major highway projects will impact travel in the coming months:

Northbound US-131 is scheduled to be closed at M-11 (28th St.) from March 31-May 1. During that time, one lane of northbound US-131 will remain open from downtown (Pearl St.) to Wyoming (Burton St.). Entrance ramps to northbound US 131 will be closed from downtown (Market Ave.) to Wyoming (44th St.). Northbound on and off ramps will be closed at Burton, Hall, Martin Luther King Jr. and Wealthy streets. The northbound US-131 Exit 85B ramp to Pearl St. will also be closed.

Once the northbound section is done, work will commence on the southbound stretch. Southbound US-131 will be closed at Burton Street. During that time, one lane of southbound US-131 will remain open from Burton St. to Ann St. This work is expected to be finished by mid-June.

North of downtown, the ramp from northbound US-131 to I-96 (and to Alpine Ave.) will be closed for two months for bridge repairs. The detour will be to continue north on 131, exit at West River Dr., enter 131 southbound and then exit to I-96 eastbound or westbound. Westbound I-96 will take you to Alpine Ave.

Stay tuned for more details and construction dates.
