Traveling on WB I-196 just got a little easier
The Michigan Department of Transportation announced Wednesday the ramp from Ionia Avenue to westbound I-196 is now open. MDOT invested $21.4 million to widen and reconstruct the westbound I-196 bridge over the Grand River at the US-131 interchange. The wider bridge will accommodate wider shoulders and additional lanes to better connect westbound I-196 to the US-131 interchange.
