Overnight Lane Closures

I-196 WESTBOUND

Westbound drivers will find the left lane closed at night as crews will install new lighting and texturing the pavement
EAST BELTLINE to FULLER AVE
Monday (8.30) to Friday (9.3)
Nightly 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.

The Fix on I-196 has moved to Phase Two:

The ramp from US-131 SOUTHBOUND to I-196 EASTBOUND, closed until November 1

Detour: Exit at PEARL ST or MARKET AVE for access to downtown Grand Rapids

The ramp from I-196 EASTBOUND to COLLEGE AVE must be replaced. That ramp will close, so anyone aiming to get to Spectrum Butterworth or GRCC must exit at OTTAWA AVE

The ramp from I-196 WESTBOUND to OTTAWA AVE is closed until November 14. Exit early at COLLEGE AVE.

The ramp from IONIA AVE to I-196 EASTBOUND is closed.

The ramp from IONIA AVE to I-196 WESTBOUND is closed.

The ramp from US-131 NORTHBOUND to I-196 EASTBOUND, previously closed for four months, is now open.

Construction zone speed limits to apply

45 mph when workers are present, which will be almost all the time, including weekends
55 mph when no one is around (the 60 mph limit won't apply, because the speed limit on this stretch of freeway has always been 55)

Weave/Merge lanes must still be constructed. MDOT has not said there will be lane closures, but I believe they will be unavoidable at times, which will mean just ONE lane at times.
Bridges must be completed.
