GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Drivers who use Northbound US-131 to access I-96 and M-37 should plan a detour for the entirety of the summer.
On Sunday April 28, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) closed the northbound US-131 ramp to I-96 and M-37.
MDOT says the closure is expected to last through mid-September.
According to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), the closure is taking place for a $6 million project to rebuild the two-lane ramp connecting northbound US-131 to I-96 and M-37 (Alpine Avenue).
The work will include bridge deck replacement, barrier replacement, new expansion joints, lighting replacement, structural steel painting, substructure improvements and approach work.
MDOT said the detour will continue north on US-131 where drivers can exit at West River Drive (Exit 91) and enter southbound US-131 to access I-96 and M-37.
During the closure, MDOT said the left two lanes of northbound US-131 will also be closed between Ann Street and I-96.
