I-96: The headaches at the US-131 interchange are gone.
All lanes are open, and all ramps are open.
There were 11 bridges in the plan for rehab, and now 10 are done. The last one is the ramp that carries traffic from NORTHBOUND US-131 to I-96. (Technically, it is part of "I-296," but no signage exists to identify the highway as such.)
Traffic on the ramp will be shifted, but MDOT notices do not mention lane or ramp closures.
Battle Creek: Closed railroad crossings at Capital Avenue and Forest Street were supposed to be gone by this morning, but the closures have been extended until the end of this week (6/26).
US-131: Work on the new cable guardrails along the median on US-131 in southern Kent Count continues. Left lane will be closed northbound and southbound between 76th STREET and 84TH STREET through early Thursday morning (6/25). The barrels will be pulled back for two lanes of traffic during rush hours mornings and afternoons.
US-131: In Kalamazoo County, the freeway will be reduced to one lane for bridge painting at MICHIGAN AVE between Mile Markers 36 and 38 through July 2. The entrance ramp from westbound STADIUM DR to northbound US-131 will be closed (go north on Drake Rd to West Main instead).
I-196: The left lane WESTBOUND is closed until 2 p.m. Wednesday (6/24) for bridge repairs. Expect slowdowns and backups.
