road construction

Well, do you want the good news or the bad news first? The good news is progress is being made to the completion of the multi-year project redoing the Portage Road intersection with I-94 and the widening of I-94 all the way past Sprinkle Road.

Yes, they're making progress, but that doesn't mean there won't be pain in the final stretch of construction on the Portage Road - Kilgore Road - I-94 Interchange project.

A video has gone viral of a Southfield School bus completely destroying a road as a crew is paving it.

A project involving two bridges in Calhoun County will lead to some detours for drivers beginning this week

The Kalamazoo City Commission approved funding for a project to redo Stadium Drive between Howard and Lovell in Kalamazoo. That's already underway. And there more big projects this year, too.

It's one of the heaviest traveled stretches of road not only in Kalamazoo, but also in this part of the state. And a multi-million dollars five month long construction project will bring traffic nightmares for drivers.

The official start of orange barrel season is underway with demolition set to begin on the I-94/Portage Road overpass.

This week is also the 21st annual National Work Zone Awareness Week and the theme this year is "Drive Safe. Work Safe. Save Lives."

Another phase of the I-69 rebuilding project between I-94 and Lansing gets going next week. This involves a ten-mile stretch between Olivet and Charlotte.

Normally getting word of a road construction project would at least get a mild chagrin, but with everything we're dealing with now, it's actually welcome news that promises that someday we may get back to good. And besides, there's little if any traffic these days, so do it now.
